Xiaohusai is located in the north of Mengku, Gonglong Dazhai, the oldest tea village in Mengku. It is 18 kilometers away from Mengku and belongs to one of the “Eighteen Villages of Mengku.” Xiaohusai has the largest ancient tea garden in Mengku. It has one of the best preserved ancient tea gardens in Yunnan. The trees grow at 1,800 meters above sea level. This tea is bold and strong, with a clean and cool bitter aftertaste that transforms to sweetness quickly, which is perfect for the summer. Lincang tea is known for a bitter flavor, but when it is from older trees, the bitterness melts quickly. The liquor is light yellow and bright, with a slight fragrance of wild honey. The energy is bold and Yang, but it does clear heat. This is also a wonderful tea for aging, as it is bold enough to be stored for a long time. We drank this tea gongfu and leaves in a bowl and enjoyed both very much. You could also brew this in a sidehandle pot, using fewer leaves for a simple, clear and clean bowl that is sure to be refreshing and gentle on a hot summer afternoon.
