Mineral, floral and surprisingly complex.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXiao Mengsong is one of the smallest and most distinctive tea terroirs in Xishuangbanna — a micro-plateau of just 2.5 square kilometres, sitting at 1,600 metres on a mountaintop between Yunnan and Burma. The name means \"plateau at the top of the mountain\" in the Dai language, and the nearest village downhill lies a full 1,000 metres below. In this secluded place, the Akha people have lived and planted tea gardens for centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea comes from a natural garden above the village, surrounded entirely by forest, made by Zhang Dan and Yu Wang Jiao, a young local couple. The trees are younger than old-tree material, making the tea rounder and more approachable, with less tannin — but these are true trees, nearly two metres tall, well-rooted and well-spaced. The garden is worked entirely without chemicals, beehives stand between the trees, weeding is done by hand once a year, and the soil is never turned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWonderful for beginners discovering Pu'er, and just as rewarding for experienced drinkers exploring the aromatic range of this tea family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDense and generous from the first infusion, with floral notes and cooked stone fruit meeting a gently herbaceous, earthy depth. Remarkably dynamic, it develops from steeping to steeping and holds well beyond ten infusions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yunnan, China (1600m)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zhang Dan and Yu Wang Jiao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest\u0026amp;processing: \u003c\/strong\u003espring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContent: \u003c\/strong\u003esheng pu'er tea\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"rami tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019193897303,"sku":"pu-erh-akha-garden-sheng","price":19.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/1873\/9543\/files\/rami_tea_loose_leaf_sheng-1.jpg?v=1779875463","url":"https:\/\/rami-tea.com\/products\/2025-akha-garden-sheng","provider":"rami tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
