Mengku Bingdao is a famous ancient tea-producing village in Shuangjiang County, Linchang City, known for its production of Bingdao large-leaf tea. It is one of the earliest places in the region where tea trees were artificially cultivated. The Bingdao tea variety is a key component of the renowned Mengku large-leaf tea, and Bingdao village is considered the birthplace of this tea type.

Bingdao Pu-erh tea is entirely natural, free from chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and other synthetic substances, making it pure, pollution-free, and eco-friendly. Bingdao tea has a long-lasting sweetness, a bright, clear liquor, and soft, uniform leaves. Compared to the more intense Lao Ban Zhang, Bingdao tea offers a sweeter, more delicate flavor, which many women particularly prefer. Its tea liquor is smooth and bright, rich like oil. The taste is complex, with lingering floral and honey notes, and the sweet, honey-like fragrance stays in the cup long after the tea is finished.

Actual colors of the tea may vary somewhat from pictured. Purchase the smallest amount to try before purchasing larger amounts.

 

Effects and functions of drinking Pu-erh tea

1. Aid digestion and relieve greasiness
Pu-erh tea contains rich tea polyphenols and caffeine, which can stimulate gastric juice secretion and help digestion. In addition, its degreasing properties make it an ideal tea to pair with greasy food, helping to relieve stomach discomfort.

2. Assist in reducing fat and losing weight
The active ingredients in Pu-erh tea can promote fat metabolism. Long-term drinking has a certain effect on lowering cholesterol and triglycerides in the body, so it is favored by many people who want to lose weight.

3. Assist in lowering blood sugar and blood lipids
The tea polysaccharides and fermentation products in Pu-erh tea have a certain effect on regulating blood sugar and lowering blood lipids. It is especially suitable for diabetic patients and people with high blood lipids to drink in moderation.

4. Assist in anti-oxidation and anti-aging
Pu-erh tea contains rich antioxidants, such as tea polyphenols, vitamin C, etc., which can effectively remove free radicals, delay aging, and improve immunity.

5. Assist in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory
The fermentation process of Pu-erh tea produces a large number of beneficial microorganisms. These substances have a certain inhibitory effect on gastrointestinal bacteria, which helps to improve gastrointestinal health and relieve mild inflammation.

6. Helps refresh the mind
The caffeine in Pu-erh tea can stimulate the central nervous system, help improve concentration and relieve fatigue, but the stimulation to the nerves is relatively mild and is not likely to cause palpitations.

7. Helps maintain health and nourish the stomach
Fermented Pu-erh tea is warm in nature, less irritating, and does not hurt the stomach. Moderate drinking has a protective effect on the stomach, especially ripe Pu-erh, which is more suitable for people with weak stomachs.

Important Note:
While tea offers numerous health benefits, it should not replace medications for treating diseases. It is also important to consume it in moderation, as drinking too much strong tea can cause side effects like insomnia or gastrointestinal discomfort. Pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers, and individuals with insomnia should consult a doctor and drink the tea cautiously based on their specific conditions.

Early steeps reveal the power, astringency, and mouthfeel of this tea. Age mao cha gives it a beautiful light orange hue. Later steeps are where this tea really shines in my opinion. The astringency fades and the beautiful character of the aged and fresher material begin to shine through. The hui gan is superb with a full bodied honey & citrus like sweetness that persists well after the last sip.

Impressions Raw Pu-erh is a refreshing tea with a great body feel. It's a little bitter for me, but I enjoyed the more brews the more I made.

from the first infusion you get slammed with a velvet coating in the mouth, a fluff feeling on the tongue followed by a tingling sensation. Citrussy, dried flowers, vanilla, a slight hint of tobacco and a lingering citrus afteraste (huigan) that puts a coat on your throat. The aftertaste also has flower scent flavors. A very pleasant experience, as there's no real biting bitterness you'd expect since this tea was only just released. Slightly oily and libricating, with a comforting, calming bodysensation. I can't believe how affordable this tea is, really a steal.

I have always enjoyed Yunnan green teas: that hard to describe honey/copper-penny aroma. I got this sample in my last order so I tried it out. It seems to be typically Yunnanese in it's flavour profile, but it is robust, complex and goes for many infusions. Typical Yunnan flavours at the outset become undergirded with a a nutty almond flavour that coats my mouth. As I continue to steep this tea more edgy floral flavours peek out, the underlying nuttiness persists, maybe this nuttiness is the aged maocha? I don't know. This tea has a beautiful clarity to the taste, and just as balanced as described. The strong huigan and cha qi are like a rollercoaster ride for me. Drinking this tea is more of an event, not a sideshow. I can't imagine a session with this tea with less then 10 or so steepings, you would just be cutting yourself short of the total experience. I use the 60ml gaiwan sold here, filled 1/3 of the way with dry leaf, water off the boil, and flash steepings that I gradually stretch out. I have no previous experience with young sheng, but this one has turned me on. I purchased a cake after tasting this sample, and also a cake of the 2014 for comparison. For my tastes this is five star.

I've had all the Impression cakes and they all are good, my favorites being the 2018 and 2014. I like that this one is a bit different with it's inclusion "lightly aged mao cha", which gives it a warm rounded feeling that counters the fresh bitter and astringent leaves used. I think as this ages that juxtaposition will become increasingly less pronounced and the taste will become more integrated as it ages. Hats off to Scott for keeping it lively!
