This tea comes from 300-600 year old trees in an ancient tea garden neighboring the king tree behind the rather famous Laoman’e monastery. The gardens are usually picked and weeded twice a year: once in spring and once in fall. In 2026, there was one spring picking and there probably won’t be a fall picking. This tea comes from the first (and only) picking in spring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLaoman'e, a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Bulang_people\"\u003eBulang\u003c\/a\u003e village in the center of Bulangshan, is well-known for its power, bitterness, and deep musk and leatheriness.
