Naka - \"Little Banzhang of Sweet Teas\"

Naka tea originates from Damanlu Village, Mengsong Township, Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan (那卡茶产自云南西双版纳勐海县勐宋乡大曼吕村). It is one of the core mountain peaks in the Mengsong tea region (是勐宋茶区核心山头之一), located at an elevation of approximately 1,662 meters (海拔约1662米). The ancient tea gardens cover over 600 acres (古茶园面积达600余亩), with tea trees aged between 300-500 years (茶树龄多在300-500年). The area is characterized by a unique mix of small-leaf and large-leaf varieties (以小叶种与大叶种混生为特色), growing in yellow sandy soil (土壤为黄沙土) with superior ecological environment (生态环境优越).

Historical Tribute Tea Heritage

Naka tea has profound historical significance, having served as tribute tea for Dai ethnic chieftains and the King of Myanmar (曾作为傣族土司及缅甸国王贡品，历史底蕴深厚). This prestigious heritage speaks to the exceptional quality that has been recognized for centuries.

\"Little Banzhang of Sweet Teas\" Character

Naka tea is renowned as the \"Little Banzhang of Sweet Teas\" (以"甜茶中的小班章"著称), combining the power of Banzhang with distinctive sweetness and elegance. The tea liquor is golden yellow and transparent (汤色金黄透亮), with rich and full flavor (滋味丰厚). The bitterness and astringency are pronounced but dissolve quickly (苦涩显但化开快), with strong and lasting returning sweetness (回甘强烈持久). The wild mountain character is obvious (山野气韵明显), combining both power and elegant sweet fragrance (兼具力量感与清雅香甜).
