2022 Da Xue Shan Gu Shu Sheng Pu'er Dragon Ball

The 2022 Da Xue Shan GuShu Raw Pu-erh is a standout selection from the high-altitude tea gardens of Bangdong in Lincang, where tea trees grow wild at over 2000 meters above sea level. In early spring, the tea is harvested from ancient trees surrounded by old-growth forests, far from human habitation, allowing the trees to thrive in a pristine environment.

This tea is processed using traditional methods—withered, pan-fried, rolled, sun-dried, and hand-rolled into dragon balls—to preserve its natural purity. Da Xue Shan, or "Big Snow Mountain," is known for producing pu-erh with a distinctive floral, sweet, and clean profile.

The high altitude and remote location contribute to the tea’s vibrant huigan (returning sweetness) and long-lasting aroma. The crisp, clear liquor and serene yet invigorating taste of this tea make it a favorite among those who appreciate the delicate complexity of Lincang’s pu-erh. The combination of high elevation, ancient trees, and meticulous processing results in a tea that is both refined and robust.
