A lovely old arbor (古树) black tea cake made from Autumn 2024 tea harvested from 80-300 year old tea trees in Man Gang village (Bang Dong, Lincang). "Kao" refers to the processing style of this tea, the Chinese character being "烤", which is featured on the cake wrapper. "Kao 烤“ means processing with baking to halt oxidation and stabilize the tea for storage and consumption. Although this is not sun-dried, don't assume that this tea won't age well. It will age nicely, but if you plan to keep it for more than 2 years you may decide you want to seal it to lock in the flavor. We have been working closely with a family in Man Gang for several years now and have asked them to help us pick and process a black tea from their old arbor family tea garden! The result is a traditional "baked" black tea that is delicious to drink, sweet and thick, aromatic, and bubbling with cha qi! This lovely tea was pressed into a 250 gram tea cake with a medium level of compression to lock in the aroma and flavors of tea, allowing for a gradual aging over time. Net Weight: 250 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong) Harvest time: October 2024 Harvest Area: Man Gang village, Bang Dong county, Lincang Prefecture Total Production amount: 100 kilograms Wrapper Design by Zhao Li Hong Also available is a shade-dried white tea: 2024 Yunnan Sourcing "Liang" Man Gang Village White Tea Cake And a traditional "sun-dried" black tea 2024 Yunnan Sourcing "Shai" Man Gang Village Black Tea Cake We also produced this 2022 series of tea cakes from Man Gang village: 2022 Yunnan Sourcing "Man Gang Tea Flowers" White Tea Cake 2022 Yunnan Sourcing "Man Gang Gu Shu Hong" Black Tea Cake 2022 Yunnan Sourcing "Man Gang Gu Shu Bai Cha" White Tea Cake 2022 Yunnan Sourcing "Man Gang Gu Shu" Black Tea and White Tea Cake This tea has been tested in a certified laboratory for 404 pesticides, and is within the EU MRL limits set for those 404 pesticide residues.
