We pay a visit to our new friends in the mountain village of Pasha in Menghai County. Each tea village has a signature taste, and Pasha is no exception. Tea here is especially tender, flowery, exquisite. First, we taste teas produced by our friends' factory, then collect some tea leaves from ancient trees, and make tea of our own. On the way from the factory to plantation, and back, we learn more about local tea and face some unexpected adventures.
In this episode we will be taking a closer look at the breathtaking Wenshan mountains and landscapes as well as bamboo puer production at Yinshan tea factory.
The Sheng Puer in bamboo is a very special method of making Puer tea. The masters prepare special moulds from bamboo and stuff it with the tea leaves. Then the last stage is roasting on the red coals, similar to kaocha production method. The storing of tea in bamboo is very simple and convenient. The next point of our tour is tea harvesting in Yunnan. It has its own nuances to be considered while gathering leaves. The roasting stage is also very interesting and has its particularities. It’s very important to keep ones back straight and combine the process of roasting with some rest and spinal exercises. After the work is done it’s time to taste the freshly made tea. It has a very special aroma and a strong relaxing effect to release the fatigue
