This tea was a private production,  pressed by a friend of ours in Jinghong.  According to him, it's an early Spring production from ancient trees growing in the forest along the China/Myanmar border, to the east of the Bulang mountain range.  It has been stored cleanly in Jinghong, where the hot and humid weather has allowed this tea to begin to transform nicely. 

This area isn't so famous, but there are some really big trees growing there and we've no reason to doubt him on the origin.   In the cup, this also comes through in the tea.  The taste isn't super strong or obvious in the beginning, but it creeps up on you, along with the unusually strong energy of the tea that slowly envelops your body and mind and provided inspiration for the quote from Kathy which gave rise to the name we've given this tea - Cloud Watching.

"It just makes me want to sit and do nothing, and look at the sky"

A great tea to meditate with

"This tea was exactly what I was looking for : a complex, approachable and deep tea. There are layers of taste unfolding slowing during the session. One has to pay attention, because it's an elegant, subtle, yet powerful tea. If you push it, satisfying bitterness appears. Storage has been impeccable. Fermentation aroma are starting to appear, it complexifies the brew without loosing this bright quality. But the highlight is definitely the Qi: it's not a stoner Qi neither a slap-in-your-face Qi. It's barely noticeable at the beginning, but a feeling of tranquility gradually set. If one listen, the tea energy is here, and very conforting."

Another thing… I recently tried

"Another thing… I recently tried the puerh cloud watching… I really loved, I bought it based on your explanation which made me curious and I just can confirm what you wrote … it’s not a tea that hits you immediately, but it’s like a long walk you’re doing with a good friend… it comes all along the way… the name fits perfectly well…"
