A tiny production from just three large old tea trees (三棵树) growing near Bang Dong village in Mengku county of Lincang. Entirely picked and processed by one family from Late March to Late April. Only 11 kilograms in total. Very pure tea with strong cha qi. Mouth-feel is textured and lively, nice slight bitterness that leaves the mouth quickly. 400 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo tong) This tea has been tested in a certified laboratory for 191 pesticides, and is within the EU MRL limits set for those 191 pesticide residues.
