From Yunnan Sourcing

Ba Nuo Village is a small remote village about 10 kilometers (as the crow flies) from Bing Dao village in Mengku county (for map click here). Our Ba Nuo village tea is picked from wild arbor tea trees and bushes growing at 2100 meters altitude!

Thick, burly and aromatic tea. Has much of the typical Mengku character, strong taste, lasting aroma and a cooling mouth-feel. A unique and enjoyable tea with plenty of character and complexity!

A total of 50 kilograms in total was produced. We pressed these tea cakes with a stone-press and used low-temperature drying to preserve the integrity of the tea.

Net Weight: 250 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)
Harvest time: April 2022
Harvest Area: Ba Nuo Village, Mengku County, Lincang Prefecture
Total Production amount: 32 kilograms

This tea has a lot of character, I can recommend it to anyone looking for a complex Mengku pu-erh without the hefty price tag associated to Bing Dao or some of the other more famous villages.

The aroma is really engaging – herbaceous, sweet, and grassy when dry and more fruity during the session.

The rinse is not so representative of the whole experience. It tastes a bit like sencha, with sweet, sour and grassy notes. The first proper infusion is then herbaceous with a very sweet and nutty profile. The mouthfeel is thick and very soft and creamy.

Later on, a lot of florals develop, including mild bitterness. Sometimes, drinking the tea reminds me of a summer meadows, which is slightly dried out. The aftertaste is very sweet and aromatic. It bring further notes of bread and barley.
