2022 Teng Tiao Gu Shu Sheng Pu'er Dragon Ball

The 2022 Teng Tiao GuShu Raw Pu-erh originates from the high mountains of Banuo in Lincang, where tea trees grow at an elevation of around 1800 meters. Over many generations, these trees have been cultivated using a unique, traditional method in which branches grow horizontally and can stretch over several meters.

This cultivation technique, known as "leave-top nurturing," directs the tree's energy into the top leaves, enhancing their thickness and nutrient content. In early spring, the tea is harvested from these ancient trees and processed using traditional methods: withered, pan-fried, rolled, sun-dried, and hand-rolled into dragon balls.

Teng Tiao Pu-erh is known for its robust flavor and strong qi (vital energy), characterized by a deep, lingering sweetness and a powerful, long-lasting finish. The unique growing and harvesting methods contribute to its intense, complex profile, offering a bold and full-bodied experience. The use of traditional cultivation methods, coupled with the region’s ideal growing conditions, makes this tea a distinctive and exceptional choice for those seeking a rich and invigorating pu-erh.
