Entirely spring 2018 harvested tea from pure assamica bushes growing in Meng Song village. Meng Song village is northwest from the Nan Nuo mountains and is a very famous tea producing area in Menghai County of Xishuangbanna.
This is a fruity and sweet (like sugarcane juice) white tea that will improve wonderfully with age. Thick and viscous, it will go many steeps!
Cha Nong Hao Brand (lit. Tea Farmer Brand 茶农号) is a small project of Ms. Guo, a Yunnan local tea aficionado. She's been involved in the Pu-erh tea world for many years but is finally doing her own small batch pressings of ripe and raw pu-erh teas that she has sourced through her many travels in the tea mountains of Yunnan!

Drinking the 2018 Bao He Xiang Yan Yun Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake
Join Scott as he drinks this tea and speaks a bit about smokiness in pu-erh.
View the tea here:
This is a blend of aged raw pu-erh from various parts of Menghai county (including Bu Lang, Nan Nuo and some others). What's unique about this blend is that all the the teas used in it were stored as mao cha for several years before pressing AND all have a smoky character to them. This is the first time I've come across a tea that was intentionally pressed from smoky mao cha, and a blend no less! The reason I know it's intentional is because Li Wen Hua not only told me it's so, but because he also named this tea 烟韵 Yan Yun (Smoky Rhyme).
Besides being smoky this tea is a very strong tea that shows it's Menghai character. There is Bu Lang bitterness, Nan Nuo florals and much more! A complex and interesting tea to be sure!
Li Wen Hua is a long time Pu-erh veteran, he's produced pu-erh for Xinghai Tea Factory (1996-2004) and then later worked for the Menghai Tea Factory as a master tea blender from 2004 to 2008. Several Da Yi brand ripe and raw blends can be credited to Li Wen Hua. In 2011 Li Wen Hua founded the Bao He Xiang 宝和祥 Brand of Pu-erh Tea with a distinct focus on creating high quality blended ripe and raw pu-erhs as well as single mountain blends as well. Bao He Xiang is a relatively small brand with productions ranging from 250 kilograms to 2000 kilograms in total.
