Tea King Bing Dao Raw Pu-erh
Origin & Terroir
Bing Dao—a sacred tea-growing sanctuary in Mengku Town, Lincang (Yunnan)—sits at 1,700m elevation with a mild climate (17°C avg.) and abundant rainfall (1,800mm/year). Blanketed by 80% forest cover, its ancient tea trees (200–800 years old) thrive in mineral-rich soil, yielding this legendary single-origin raw Pu-erh.
