Product detailed description
| After a month-long work trip in Xishuangbanna in Spring 2025, we want to share another piece of Xishuangbanna tea culture!
| This time, we would like to talk about upcoming new arrival of red teas (Yunnan shaihongcha 云南晒红茶) from Six Ancient Tea Mountains (Guliudachashan 古六大茶山) produced during the 1st Spring harvest in 2025, a highly demanded and rarely produced type of teas from Mengla Region (勐腊).
| The Mengla teas are widely known since the Tang Dynasty, when the teas were transported via the Ancient Tea and Horse Road (Chamagudao 茶马古道) since 6th century. Since Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the puer tea became restricted to public and used as a form of tribute (gongcha 贡茶), an offering and high-added value product for export. However, due to the the long-term ethnic disputes around the Mangzhi Mountain (莽枝) during late Qing Dynasty (1850–1861) and prolonged ethnic conflicts between 1940s-1980s where many tea gardens were systematically burned as a tribal revenge, the tea production from the ancient tea mountains was very uneven and limited.
| What is so special on red teas from ancient tea mountains? How is this year's harvest different compared the others? And what are the current challenges for making non-traditional teas in Mengla Region? During the presentation, will look at history of Six Ancient Tea Mountains and tribal disputes that negatively affected the production.
| The entrance fee is 500,- CZK. The entrance fee includes a bilingual presentation (EN/CZ) and tasting red teas from ancient tea mountains. The number of seats is limited. For reservation, use options "personal pick-up" and "cash". Please, book your seat in advance here or at info@bannahouse.cz. Thank you for your attention and we are looking to sharing tea with you at our Tea Chamber!Additional parameters
