Bang Dong Da Shu from Master Wu

Sheng Puerh from big trees (Da Shu, 60 years+) in a high mountain tea garden near Bang Dong Village, Lincang County, Yunnan.

We discovered this small factory in Lincang, run by Master Wu, during our trip to Yunnan in the spring of 2026. Master Wu's factory and tea gardens are relatively small, but his approach to production and professionalism greatly impressed us.

Master Wu produces tea according to traditional recipes and techniques, but with state-of-the-art, custom-made machines scientific approach. Не controls the smallest details of tea leaf processing. And this affected the quality of the finished tea: Master Wu's tea is unlike other teas from this region; it is soft, aromatic, light, yet beautiful and deep.

We purchased two teas from him — this Sheng Puerh and a Black (Red) tea made from the same raw materials. We recommend trying both and discovering how different and yet so similar they are.

Aroma: floral, honey, deep.

Flavor: thick and soft, floral, sweet, umami.

Impact: refreshing, relaxing, meditative.

Production: April 2026

This is an excellent sheng pu-erh tea to drink now. And over time, the tea will only gain in flavor and aroma.
