The raw material is represented by the first grade from the Daxueshan Old Tree Tea Park, Mengku. It is similar in characteristics to the raw material from Laoheizhai, another region of Lincang, but has a longer aftertaste.
An interesting feature of these areas is that they are located further north than other pu-erh regions. The altitude of the plantations is within 2100-2200 meters. At such altitudes, photosynthesis is more efficient due to the lower shielding of sunlight by the atmosphere. On the other hand, cold night temperatures do not allow the plant to grow much. Due to such conditions, tea leaves accumulate a high content of useful substances, so high-mountain raw materials are considered the highest quality.
