Ge Deng tea mountain is located in Mengla county of Xi Shuang Banna and is one of the six famous tea mountains of Banna. Ge Deng mountain is located north of Yi Wu and to east of the Mang Zhi mountains. Ge Deng teas are special in that they are not large leaf varietal but rather an original small leaf varietal that has grown in this area for hundreds if not thousands of years. Like other small leaf varietal wild arbor tea trees in Yunnan (Jing Mai), the flavor is lighter and more smooth, but the aroma is pungent and fruity. All cakes are 250 grams and pressed by stone. Just 40 kilograms produced. Spring 2010 Harvest
