- Specials The leaves for this special lot come from the Yunnan Da-Ye cultivar, grown in the gardens around Menghai. Following a traditional 2 month fermentation, the tea was pressed into this special shape in 2021. It has matured for 5 years and now reveals its full potential. It is reminiscent of the uniquely documented march of 16 wild elephants over a distance of 1,300 km through Xishuangbanna, Pu Erh, Yuxo and Honghe. The tea has excellent ageing potential, requires at least 3 infusions and, in terms of flavour, is reminiscent of classic, old-school Pu-erhs from around 1990.
