Our 2018 Organic Blang Ripe Tea Cake uses sun-dried Shaiqinmao tea leaves (Yunnan big-leaf variety) from the Blang Mountain area. It is produced by Yunnan ChaWangShu Tea factory located in the Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan province. The tea is specifically picked in early spring. It is certified organic by CQM (China Quality Mark Certification Group).
The taste of the tea is strong, mellow and powerful with an earthy, woody flavour. The first slip may have some bitterness but also has a very strong and impressive, lingering sweet aftertaste. Because it has been aged for several years, it also has a special, rich Chen fragrance. The tea soup is pure and clear, wine-red to amber in colour.

-Detailed processes:
The Blang Mountain is located within Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, which is a well-known and ancient Pu’er- producing area with very advantageous natural conditions. The Blang people were the first people in the world to grow tea trees and process tea leaves, and countless generations have grown up cultivating the local Pu’er tea trees. They have lived in Blang Mountain for generations, and each generation is growing up with Pu’er tea trees. The Pu’er tea that is produced here has legendary status.
The Blang Mountain area has typical a subtropical monsoon climate with abundant sunlight and rainfall. The average annual precipitation is 1,374mm, and the average annual temperature is around 18℃– to 21℃. It is basically frost-free or has a very short frost period. The winter is not very cold but is as foggy as the spring, and the summer is not intensely hot but is as rainy as the autumn. The temperature is very mild – it feels like spring all year round. The Blang Mountain tea plantations include many wild, ancient trees that grew up in the primeval forest. The soil is deep, breathable, and fertile; it is slightly acidic and has good drainage. Types include red soil, yellow soil and lateritic soil, and the pH value is between 4 and 6. These are advantageous conditions for the cultivation of Pu’er tea trees.

Powerful and bold character with that deep earthy richness you want from a good ripe pu-erh. The bitterness in the first infusion quickly transforms into this incredible sweetness that coats your entire palate. The aging has given it layers of complexity—woody, slightly medicinal, very clean finish. This one demands your attention and rewards patience.
