Aged Baoshan
Bai Lu Mu Dan
2017 Pest.Free

The altitude of over 2000m provides not only an ideal climate for tea cultivation - the temperatures between day and night can sometimes fluctuate by 10-20°C - but also an environment that is rich in fog, which provides the tea leaves with natural sun protection and ensures a particularly sweet, aromatic infusion. This is also where the nickname "Bai Lu" of this tea comes from - literally "white dew". In the historical native region of the tea plant, many majestic old tea trees can be found, from which the highly sought-after Pu Erh teas are made. The use of the Yunnan Daye ("Yunnan Big Leaf") cultivar, which is predominant in this region, gives the tea a particularly aromatic, unique and at the same time very delicate character.

Single Origin

This tea is exclusively sourced from the tea farm in Baoshan, Yunnan.

Sourced directly from the tea farmer.

Brewing Guide

Add 3 heaped teaspoons to 100-300ml water at 90-95°C for 30-40 sec. Suitable for several infusions. The tea can also be boiled, as is traditional in China (煮茶 Zhu Cha). For this, use the same amount of tea and water and boil the tea for 1-2 minutes each (depending on preference).

Packaging

High quality, airtight, resealable standing zipper pouch with 9 protective layers to preserve flavour and protect against oxidation and contamination.

Recommended Teapot

For particularly aromatic preparation, a Yixing teapot made of natural clay or a black Tokoname Kyusu with a fine ceramic strainer is recommended, alternatively a tall glass teapot (more neutral taste) with an integrated strainer in which the tea can float and steep freely.

We find it very important that our teas are pure and produced in a way that respects the environment. For this reason, each one of our teas is tested for pesticide residues by an independent laboratory, the results of which can be found here. Some of our teas are also tested for specific nutritional compounds, in which case the test results are also published here.
