Bohetang is located in the Yiwu Mansa Tea region, hidden deep within the mountains at an altitude of around 1,400 to 1,620 meters, with coordinates at 101°32′ East and 22°5′ North. It is a small mountain hollow nestled deep within the primeval forest. The vegetation here is very well preserved. This mysterious tea garden was discovered when planting “herbal spices” in the depths of the forest. It was named Bohetang because of a naturally occurring patch of mint leaves found there. What types of tea trees are there in Bohetang? The tea area is not large, with very old trees that vary in height, scattered here and there, most of which are 5 to 8-meter-old trees. Bohetang is divided into two tea plots: Upper Tea Plot and Lower Tea Plot. All the famous ancient tea trees are in the Lower Tea Plot, while the Upper Tea Plot was planted by local farmers after 1982.

Introduction to Yiwu Bohetang Pu'er Tea
Administratively speaking, Bohetang is part of the Mansa Village, Yiwu Town, Mengla County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, northeast of the ancient Mansa tea mountain and the Wan Gong area. Hidden deep within the mountains, it remains a tea plot inaccessible even by motorcycle, with coordinates at 101°32′ East and 22°5′ North. It is a small mountain hollow surrounded by high mountains, with an altitude between 1,400 and 1,600 meters.
The soil here is rich, black humus mixed with gravel, several centimeters thick, and there are small streams running through the mountains. This provides the tea trees with the best nutrients. Those who have visited the Bohetang tea plot refer to the trees as “tall,” mainly because they have grown unchecked and unmanaged for many years in an excellent natural environment, allowing the ancient tea trees to fully take advantage of their apical dominance. Surrounded by tall trees, they have stretched upwards to capture more light, resulting in these ancient tea trees that resemble telephone poles, reaching heights of about ten meters. Therefore, they are called “tall tea trees” by tea enthusiasts.
The Bohetang tea area is not large, with very old trees that vary in height, scattered here and there, most of which are 5 to 8-meter-old trees. The tallest tree measured exceeds 12 meters, a rare sight in the Yiwu tea area. Harvesting these teas requires climbing long ladders, making the process extremely difficult and the yield scarce.
The dry leaves of Bohetang ancient tea are dark green, tightly twisted, with longer stems. The tea soup is clear and bright yellow, with a deep and fragrant floral aroma. Upon tasting, there is a noticeable cool sensation (this cool sensation is primarily due to the high content of free amino acids and ester-type catechins in the Bohetang ancient tea, contributing to the fresh and smooth mouthfeel). The tea has a fine, thick, and viscous texture, with a lasting sweetness and a lingering throat resonance. The tea is soft and sweet, with a full flavor.
