HOT ! Ji Di Old Tea Tree Sheng Puerh

Unblended, single source, old tea tree raw puerh tea, from the Meng Hai region of XiShuang BanNa. \'JiDi\' is an area of old tea trees (predominantly 80-200 years old and above) that had been neglected for decades.

The land has an interesting history as it was for many years farmed by different households, who each had their own techniques and styles of maintaining the tea trees. Walking through the plantation you will see evidence of different pruning and other management methods.

Our friend Mr. Wu has been developing the site by introducing additional species of trees to encourage bio-diversity, whilst improving the management of the tea trees. On site there is a small workshop complex for processing and experimentation, which is becoming popular with national and international tea professionals to visit and exchange processing ideas and experience.
