Introduction to Pasha Rhinoceros Pond
In recent years, with the rising reputation of “Pasha tea,” whether it be Old Pasha, Middle Pasha, or New Pasha, all have reaped a wave of benefits. Especially noteworthy is New Pasha, which introduced a niche mountain region—the Rhinoceros Pond. The Pasha Rhinoceros Pond is a niche regional cooperative brand created through the joint efforts of all villagers and cadres of New Pasha, attracting external investment. It has gained the favor of many tea enthusiasts and has become one of the few active regions among mountain teas in 2022. Not only did it liven up the atmosphere on the mountain, but it also successfully held ceremonies for the adoption and mining of the Rhinoceros Pond tea king tree.
Ecosystem of Rhinoceros Pond
Rhinoceros Pond is relatively far from the village and has seen very little human intervention. The ancient tea gardens are lush with vegetation, have thick layers of humus beneath the forest floor, and boast fertile Soil. The tea produced here is rich in natural compounds, robust in flavor, and fragrant.

Walking along the forest path towards Rhinoceros Pond, the ancient tea gardens are distributed on both sides of the road, seamlessly blending into the forest, allowing one to experience the tranquil Beauty of the deep mountains and dense forests.
