Mt. Yiwu Raw PuEr tea cake, Dingjia village ancient trees, 2014 Spring 易武山 · 丁家寨 · 古树普洱生茶(2014年春)
Nestled in the heart of Yiwu Mountain, Dingjia Village is one of the most distinctive villages among Yiwu’s “Seven Villages and Eight Settlements” (七村八寨). Home to some of the largest and oldest cultivated ancient tea gardens in the Six Great Tea Mountains, this tea embodies both power and elegance, making it a true standout among Yiwu Sheng Pu-erh.
Authentic Ancient Tree Tea – A Taste of Yiwu’s Strength
Harvested from centuries-old trees, Dingjia Village’s Sheng Pu-erh features thick, robust, and tightly twisted leaves, with a gray-brown hue and prominent silver buds. Even as a new tea, it carries an intriguing aged aroma, a testament to the richness of its terroir and the meticulous craftsmanship behind its processing.
Upon brewing, this tea unveils its silky smooth yet bold character. Expect a tea that is:
✔ Full-bodied and strongly pushed towards the throat (喉韵深), deeply satisfying with a lingering sweetness and Hui Gan (回甘, returning sweetness).
✔ Aromatic and layered, carrying subtle aged notes that add depth and complexity.
✔ Well-balanced and durable, with a structure that supports both immediate enjoyment and long-term aging.
A Hidden Gem from Yiwu’s Elite Tea Regions
Dingjia Village teas are often regarded as hidden treasures of Yiwu Mountain, comparable in quality to the famed Banpo, Guafengzhai, and Wan Gong teas. Due to its strategic location and the expertise of its tea farmers (many of whom are of the Yao ethnic group), Dingjia teas have been sought after by traders and collectors alike. Some have even found their way into the market under the names of other prestigious Yiwu tea regions.
For those who have experienced Guafengzhai Sheng Pu-erh, we invite you to discover Dingjia Village’s unique strength and depth—an authentic Yiwu powerhouse with a character all its own.

易武丁家寨,是易武山7村8寨中的硬汉子。 这里的茶树是古6大茶山目前发现的最大的人工栽培型古树园。 条索粗壮紧结,灰褐,显白毫。新茶香气略带陈韵。醇厚回甘,甜度持久…… 丁家寨茶农大部分都是瑤族人家,除勤劳外,是很精明商人,天时地利,有“近水楼梯先得月"手段。 哪个名山茶区价高往那送,如弯弓,刮风寨等。能送往名山充当贵茶口味,品质也就不用说了。 喝过别家“刮风寨”的茶友, 不妨品一品我家的“丁家寨”。
