Where is Baiying Mountain?
Located in the middle of Dabing Mountain 大丙山 on the west bank of the Lancang River in Yun County, Lincang City (the main peak is 2834 meters above sea level), facing Wuliang Mountain 無量山 across the river, with a backdrop of the wild tea tree community of Dabing Mountain.
Why is Baiying Mountain highly sought after among Pu'er tea enthusiasts?
Known as the 'Tea Tree Resource Museum,' it is the largest, most scientifically valuable, and historically precious repository of ancient tea tree species in the world. Its existence demonstrates the different stages of wild tea becoming a cultivated crop, showcasing diversity within the same planting area. The tea garden area of Baiying Mountain Ancient Tea Mountain is 12,400 acres. There are over 1.84 million ancient tea trees over a hundred years old. The Baiying Mountain Ancient Tea Mountain belongs to the scattered star-style planting, with tea trees scattered around the village, widely distributed, low density, tall and large tea trees, some of which require two people to hug.
Buddhist Tea Holy Land: Baiying Mountain has had a Buddhist temple since the Southern Zhao 南诏 period—the Dahe Temple 大河寺. Over the next five-hundred years, the Dahe Temple remained prosperous and flourishing. With convenient transportation, practicing monks constantly gathered here, so during the long five hundred years, the earliest Buddhist tea culture was also nurtured and born here while monks preached and practiced. Monks cannot live without tea all day long. Due to the temples built on the mountains and tea planted according to the temples, an ancient style was formed early on. Zen tea, for thousands of years, Buddha and tea have an inseparable fate.
Why does the SCAFTA recommend this mini tea cake?
First, all raw tea is made from huge wild tea trees, so the quantity is very limited. Second, very few people in China use wild tea for fermentation into ripe tea, which has a unique flavor.
