2026 Rhino Pond - King Tree Grove Puerh

description: FatBat Private Pressing Gushu Raw Puerh 犀牛塘 茶王地 古树 For our Rhino Pond (Xi Niu Tang) production this year, we decided to go big and arrange a pure gushu (ancient tree) picking from the innermost core of the Xi Niu Tang gardens – an area called the King Tree Grove, or plot (茶王地 Cha Wang Di).

Surprisingly, a sweetness of pear puree becomes evident mid-session, lurking consistently beneath the saline - mineral - seaweed character. This tea is only just developing its flavor profile and promises far more in the years ahead -- notes will be updated. TERROIR Xi Niu Tang (meaning Rhino Pond) refers to the core groves of Pasha Middle Village, widely considered some of the best gushu tea gardens in the surrounding area.
