Han Gu Di village is one of the more remote villages in the Jinggu area, taking nearly 1.5 hours from Jinggu town to arrive there.  Although there is a road that goes there, it's nearly impassible during the rainy season. Han Gu Di village lies at an altitude of 1700 meters and is home to tea trees ranging in age from 80 years up to 500 years.  Our Han Gu Di tea cake is made from tea leaves harvested 150-350 year old tea trees.  

Our Spring 2017 Han Gu Di harvested tea is very strong tea, and from some of the oldest trees in our offering!  The taste is bitter, sweet and savory.  There is a creamy edge to the tea when it first enters the mouth.  There is a strong mouth-watering feeling after drinking a few cups and the taste/feeling lingers in the mouth for 10 to 20 minutes after enjoying it.  The Cha Qi is strong, but grounding.  The brewed leaves are mostly dark olive in color, large (in scale), thick and stout stemmed.

 

Stone-pressed in the traditional manner.
