Product Details
This distinguished raw Pu-erh tea originates from the ancient tea forests of Bingdao village in Yunnan's Lincang region, crafted entirely from spring-harvested old tree leaves in 2015. The traditional "Dragon Pearl" hand-rolling technique forms the leaves into compact, spherical pearls that preserve their vitality while facilitating gradual aging—each pearl containing approximately 7-8 grams of premium tea material.
After nearly a decade of natural aging, this tea has evolved from its initial youthful intensity to a beautifully balanced maturity. The dry pearls showcase a harmonious blend of dark green and silver buds, slowly unfolding during brewing to reveal their preserved energy. The liquor presents a bright golden-amber color with brilliant clarity, releasing a complex aromatic profile of wild honey, orchids, dried apricots, and the distinctive cooling minerality that characterizes authentic Bingdao tea. The taste is potent yet refined, with a vibrant Cha Qi (tea energy) and a lingering sweet aftertaste that resonates in the throat.
