Ba Wai Village is in Mengku County of Lincang.  It's 1.9 kilometers (as the crow flies) southeast of Bing Dao village in the highlands on the eastern side of the Mengku River.  Bing Dao on the western side of the river is at 1550 meters altitude, whereas Bai Wai is at 1800+ meters altitude.

The Ba Wai Village tea garden tea trees where our material comes from are 100-250 years old and grow naturally without human intervention.  The trees are typical Mengku large leaf varietal that have grown in this area of Yunnan since ancient times.  The leaves are olive green, thick and stout.  The brewed tea is thick and sweet with bitterness that fades and transforms into something cooling and lubricating in the mouth and throat.

A total of 34 kilograms in total was produced.  We pressed these tea cakes with a stone-press and used low-temperature drying to preserve the integrity of the tea.
