Mengding Ganlu Tea: China’s Tea Capital Legacy in a Cup
Hailing from Ya’an’s Mengding Mountain—crowned the “Birthplace of Chinese Tea”—Mengding Ganlu (Sweet Dew) thrives in 2,000-year-old mist-kissed valleys. Handpicked from ancient tea trees, its amino acid-rich leaves undergo a 3-step traditional craft:
- Fixation: Quick heating at 120°C preserves vibrant green hue and freshness.
- Spiral Rolling: Gentle hand-rolling forms tight buds, releasing aromatic oils.
- Charcoal Drying: Slow oven/charcoal drying locks in chestnut-orchid notes.
Wellness & Ritual
- Antioxidant Power: 3x catechins vs. regular green tea fight aging and boost immunity.
- Mindful Energy: L-theanine + theophylline enhance focus without jitters.
- Brewing Mastery:
- 75–80°C water, 2–3g/150ml, steep 2–3 mins (reuse 3x).
- Serve in glass gaiwan to admire its emerald liquor.
Versatile Appeal
- Daily Elixir: Ideal for morning refreshment or post-meal digestion.
- Cultural Gift: Sophisticated packaging makes it a heritage-rich present.
