RAW PU ER TEA, BINGDAO LAOZHAI
In the Yunnan province, in Mengku, north of the famous misty Bangma Mountain, lies the village of Bingdao Laozhai at an altitude of 1800 meters. Known as the “Queen of Chinese Teas,” the Grand Cru from this village embodies the purest expression of the rare Pu’er teas. In this rich and mineral ecosystem, with its stark seasonal contrasts and significant temperature variations, dense forests of ancient wild tea trees thrive, interspersed with fruit trees and flowing springs. Our farmers carefully pluck the budding leaves from 600 year-old ancient tea trees using delicate bamboo scaffolding. The tea is rolled into balls to preserve its essence.

TASTING NOTES
Upon first smell, a strong fragrance of iodine, reminiscent of sea spray, greets the nose. This Grand Cru Pu’er tea then opens up to a complex bouquet of honey, undergrowth, and porcini mushrooms, unfolding slowly in a generous and creamy mouthfeel that lingers beautifully.

EXPERIENCE
A rare sensory journey that captures the soul of Yunnan’s most revered terroir. This Grand Cru is a tea of depth and character, ideal for contemplative moments and refined palates. Its silky texture and nuanced aromatics make it a true collector’s tea — timeless, elegant, unforgettable.
