Ying Kee Sheng Pu Erh, pressed into cakes with a classic weight of 200 g, has been produced by hand using the purely traditional method, which can be said of only approximately 5% of all Pu Erh cakes produced in China. All the renowned firms produce tea pressings almost exclusively using machines. The series of images show hand production, in which the cake is pressed using minimal force in order to attain the resulting shape. The small serial production takes place in the Chinese province of Canton (Guangzhou) after the tea has been imported from nearby Yunnan. The tea leaves acquired their properties on Daxueshan mountain (great snowy mountain) in the district of Mengku, at a height of 1900 m above sea level. A correctly prepared brew offers a wide spectrum of aromas and tastes, the experienced taster will distinguish nuts, fresh sweetcorn and rare, slightly piquant tobacco. Each production series of cakes has been devoted to one of the important Chinese symbols, in our case Happiness, which is why the word Qing features in the name of the tea. More

Early spring harvest of Ye Sheng Cha wild tea in Da Xue Shan 大雪山

Da Xue Shan 大雪山 is a 3480m high mountain located in the Lincang region of southwestern Yunnan. Its peak is covered with snow all year round, hence the name Great Snow Mountain (Da Xue Shan 大雪山). Wild tea (Ye Sheng Cha 量茶茶, often called by Yunnan farmers as Shan Cha 山茶, ) grows here in the mountainous terrain at an altitude of 2000-2300 m. Despite growing at such a high altitude, it germinates earlier than most common teas in Yunnan and the rest of China. At the end of March, the tea is ready to be harvested. Daxueshan wild tea is famous for its delicate taste and fragrance of wild orchid. The local farmers are from the Li Su minority group, which is a very rare race in Yunnan that typically lives in high mountains in China. The nature of these people is that they would rather make less tea and live a simple life as they always have.
