Chinese Name:西双版纳易武茶山刮风寨普洱茶
English Name: Guafengzhai Puer Tea Plantation of Yiwu Mountain, XishuangBanna
The ancient tea trees in the Guafengzhai Village grow quietly on the border between China and Laos. The primeval forest of 50 square kilometers is the best protection forest for ancient tea trees. Close to the border with Laos, Chapingdi(茶坪地) is largely uninhabited and a forgotten gathering place of ancient tea trees. Only in recent years have people discovered the ancient tea trees here. Like its famous name, the reputation of the Guafengzhai Village began to blow a whirlwind in the minds of the people.
If you want to feel the charms of Puer tea culture, the Guafengzhai Village is a good place to go.
