What they're known for

  • A small Menghai artisan pressing by hand in the traditional style.
  • Raw material comes from big-tree (大树) stock in the Banzhang area.
  • Shu with 15+ years of dry storage — fermentation has fully settled.
  • Deep chestnut infusion, notes of dates, camphor and honey.

This is a small Menghai artisan pressing by hand, without machinery, using the 勐海传统工艺 (Menghai traditional craft) process. Their material comes from big-tree (大树) plots in the Banzhang area, and their cakes sit in dry storage for fifteen years or more before release — long enough for the wet-pile character to fully settle and for the tea to develop the silky aged-shu profile that only real dry storage produces.
