Product detailed description

🍵| Autumn is finally here, which is a perfect time for exploring Xishuangbanna Tea Culture! This time, we would like to talk about Yi tribe (彝族) and their tea-related traditions.

🫖| Similarly like other mountain tribes, Yi people belong to one of the first tea cultivators in Yunnan Province, who first systemic historical records can be traced to 3rd Century BC. While Yi people are primarily located around Xiangming township (象明乡), a small micro-region in between Six Ancient Tea Mountains (guliudachashan 古六大茶山) in Mengla County (勐腊县), the Yi people got more famous during the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), where they source tribute tea (gongcha 贡茶) to the royal court under the administration of the Emperor Qianlong (乾隆帝).

🎎| What is the history of Yi people? What is the difference between Yi and other twelve tribes in Xishuangbanna? And how their tea taste like? During the event, we will taste four teas (shengcha and shucha) from three Yi tea producers (Wangjia, Xu Yongwei and Xu Yongping) and discuss the ongoing challenges for Yi tea culture.

🙏| The entrance fee is 500,- CZK. The fee includes a bilingual presentation (EN/CZ) and tasting four teas from three Yi producers. The number of seats is limited. Please, book your seat in advance. Thank you for your attention and we are looking to sharing tea with you at our Tea Chamber!
