Xigui Pu-erh Tea: Essence of the River, Fragrance of the Mountains
Nestled along the banks of the Lancang River lies an ancient village known as the “soul of Lincang” — Xigui. Though not located at a high altitude, this area’s unique terroir and microclimate make it a rare and precious source of top-grade Pu-erh tea. Xigui Pu-erh Tea is regarded as one of the finest expressions of raw Pu-erh, often referred to as the benchmark of ancient tree tea from Lincang.
A Gifted Origin: Where Mountains Meet the River
Located in Bangdong Township, Lincang, Xigui sits on the eastern bank of the Lancang River at an altitude of 700–1000 meters. The area enjoys ample sunlight during the day, cool and humid nights, and constant mist that cloaks the landscape—ideal conditions for tea cultivation.
The ancient tea trees here, many over a hundred years old, thrive in mineral-rich red soil and a naturally biodiverse ecosystem. These conditions give Xigui Pu-erh Tea its unique vitality, complexity, and robust tea energy.
Unique Aroma: Floral, Fruity, and Elegant
One of the most defining characteristics of Xigui Pu-erh Tea is its extraordinary fragrance. The dry leaves emit delicate notes of orchid, ripe fruit, and light honey. When hot water is poured, the aroma bursts forth, enveloping the space with a refreshing and lasting bouquet.
In the first few infusions, the fragrance rises vividly—floral and ethereal, as if carried by the mountain breeze—leaving a deep impression on the senses.
Rich and Smooth Taste Profile
The taste of Xigui Pu-erh Tea is best described as smooth, thick, and sweet. The tea liquor glides across the tongue with a silky texture and delivers an immediate, gentle sweetness. Bitterness is minimal and quickly transforms into lingering hui gan (returning sweetness), creating a balanced and pleasant mouthfeel.
Thanks to its strong structure, Xigui Pu-erh Tea performs exceptionally well across multiple steeps—often retaining its flavor and aroma even after ten or more infusions.
Subtle, Lasting Qi
Unlike the bold and forceful tea energy from higher elevations, the tea qi of Xigui Pu-erh is refined and enduring. It reveals itself slowly, wrapping the body in warmth and clarity. This restrained strength gives the tea a meditative, calming quality prized by seasoned tea drinkers.
