In the wilderness of the Ai Lao Mountains, surrounded on all sides by dense forest, lies Mrs Feng’s tea garden. Planted in the 1960’s, the tea bushes here have grown into large tea trees with thick, flavourful leaves used exclusively to produce puerh – the prized tea of Yunnan province. The leaves are fired by hand over a wood fire and sun-dried to ensure a mellow texture, before being stone-pressed into tea cakes. This is a traditional method, commonly used to store and age puerh tea. To make this tea, carefully prise apart some loose leaves from the cake and infuse them Gong Fu style to reveal the tea's engaging and zesty flavour.
