Region

Menghai, Yunnan, China

Menghai, located in the southern region of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, is one of the most renowned tea-producing areas in China. It is celebrated as the birthplace of the iconic "Menghai Flavor" Pu-erh tea, which is characterized by its rich, thick, and mellow profile. Situated at elevations of 1,000 to 1,600 meters, Menghai benefits from a tropical monsoon climate, abundant rainfall, and fertile red soil, all of which contribute to its unique tea terroir. The region is also home to several ancient tea-producing villages such as Nannuo and Bulang, which boast a rich history of tea cultivation and trade.

The climate in Menghai features warm temperatures averaging between 16°C and 25°C, with high humidity and consistent rainfall, particularly during the monsoon season. These conditions support the growth of tea leaves that are bold, full-bodied, and capable of long-term aging. The old tea trees of Menghai, many over centuries old, produce leaves with a characteristic strength and sweetness that define its teas.

Menghai Pu-erh teas are highly prized for their classic profiles, whether Sheng (raw) or Shu (ripe). Known for their thick, smooth textures and lingering earthy sweetness, they embody the essence of tradition and skill. Often hand-processed by local artisans, these teas carry the depth and complexity of Menghai’s history, making them a favorite among tea lovers worldwide.
