Zhang Jia Wan 张家湾 is a tea growing region on Man Sa mountain, north of Yiwu, just a few kilometres from the Laos border. In 1981, Zhang Jia Wan’s residents were relocated to Man La town, 13km away, down in the valley next to the highway. Their 300+ year old tea trees now grow isolated, high on the mountain at 1,300-1,600m elevation, making them highly prized. They are small arbor trees, having been cut down once in the 1980s to make way for corn. Luckily these hardy trees have regrown, drawing on their deep root systems to produce a tea with both complexity & structure. Our 2012 Spring Zhang Jia Wan cake was completely hand made, stone pressed and double wrapped in Man La. Mellow, smooth & nectar sweet, this is a great value cake.
