2023 Na Ka Raw Pu-erh Tea

Naka Village is a Lahu minority village located in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Situated at an elevation of 1,600 meters above sea level and surrounded by forests, it boasts an excellent ecological environment for tea cultivation. Xishuangbanna was once an ancient kingdom of the Dai ethnic group, and Naka tea was renowned for its premium quality, which led to its use as tribute to the Dai king. In recent years, Naka tea has gained popularity in the market and is referred to as the "Little Ban Zhang" tea, a testament to its exceptional quality and reputation. Chen Sheng Tea Co., Ltd. signed a 30-year cooperation agreement with Naka Village on December 28, 2012.

Made with Pure and Single Region Material

Chen Sheng Hao has established a tea-producing base in Naka Village to purchase fresh tea leaves from local tea farmers, and control product quality from the source. Since 2013, Chen Sheng Hao’s Naka has been in production for 11 years and has been made with pure and single-region materials.

Representative Sweet Taste

The aroma and taste are alluring, exhibiting a noticeable peach-like flavour and strong sweetness in the later steeps. There is also a strong cup scent left behind in the early brews. The soup has an attractive pale-gold color in the cup. “Naka” is the sweetness representative of Pu’er tea. Be careful when steeping “Naka”, as over-steeping can turn this tea into a bitter beverage.
