tree resin, wild orchid and pure terroir
About this tea
Our 2022 rectangle brick pressing of the mid-spring harvest is complex and floral with notes of tree sap and fragrant resin. The sweetness of honey and fermented fruit aromas are balanced with pure essence of dew and minerals of the earth. One year of resting and it is already showing its potential as one of our favorite tea terroirs. The aftertaste carries a mouthwatering sweetness and refreshing energy. The fermented fruity aromas give way to an emerging pungency, stimulating strength and minerality that builds up in the subsequent brews. The brick tea is pressed from withered and hand-rolled long buds and sweet stems, so the sweetness and mineral taste comes out slowly and elegantly over the course of many infusions. A session with this tea is really refreshing. The Cha Qi energy keeps giving long after the teacups are dry. It is a bit romantic if not metaphysical to note that the energy of the forest and ancient tree tea roots transmits something different and special through the embrace of this tea.

Laos is home to a variety of tea regions and tea tree cultivars and one of the key growing regions for the Pu’er tea market, producing the sun-dried green tea base for making Pu’er (shaiqing mao cha). With an abundance of ancient cultivated and abandoned old growth tea areas to explore, Laos has so much potential for ecologically cultivated and organic premium teas. We are excited to help bring awareness of the un-blended, single origin uniqueness and the provenance of this region.
