About the Mengku Region

Located in Shuangjiang County, Yunnan’s Lincang Prefecture, the Mengku tea region is a leading Pu-erh producer. Situated along the Nanmeng River and framed by Bangma and Ma’an mountains, it is known for ancient Mengku Big Leaf tea trees, with 80% of its gardens over 120 years old. Growing at 1,800–2,750 meters in fertile soil with ample sunshine, these trees yield robust, polyphenol-rich leaves. The region’s 18 villages, divided by the river, produce distinct teas: bold and aromatic from the east, mellow and sweet from the west. Spanning over 2,092 acres, Mengku’s diverse tea plantations are a global tea heritage treasure.
