We are thrilled to have this local, regional interpretation of Pu-erh. Ba Ba Cha ( meaning a handful bundle ) is an unusual and delicious leafy , strip-style raw Pu-erh that has been stacked and tied together into small bundles. The leaf is the ‘Big Leaf’ or Dayeh variety that was plucked in the spring in the Ba Da mountain area of Xishuangbanna in southern Yunnan Province. The leaf has been given a traditional solar withering and a quick de-enzyming in a tea firing pan. The leaves are then gently rolled one by one into a long strip shape and carefully stacked into small bundles. The bundles are immediately charcoal fired to prevent oxidation but with enough residual moisture within the bundle to allow the natural fermentation process to proceed.
Each Ba Ba Cha bundle is wrapped in tissue paper and packaged in a Chinese take-out food container for protection.

Infuse many times with very hot water.
