Description

Bang Long village is a Meng Song area village in Menghai County of Xishuangbanna. Meng Song area is northwest from Nan Nuo mountains and is a very famous tea producing area in Menghai. Our Bang Long village tea cake is pressed from first flush of spring 2018 tea leaves harvest from 20 to 60 year old trees and bushes.

This tea is potent, with notes of stone fruit and wheat grass. There is a thick green bouquet and a thick soupy character to the tea soup. The tea is bitter, astringent, and sweet, with a long-lasting hui gan. A powerful and complex tea that will improve in flavor and aroma with each passing year!
