This is where we spend our Spring and Autumn, making tea every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Jingmai Miyun is a blend of several\u003cstrong\u003e natural tea gardens\u003c\/strong\u003e (also known as Shengtai) that our family manages. We have five plots of shengtai, located at various altitudes and in different environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eWhat makes a tea garden 'natural'?\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile conventional plantations loaded with pesticides and growth promoters were prevalent in Yunnan a few decades ago, the revival of the Pu-erh tea industry in the 2000s lead a push for better quality. When it comes to Pu-erh tea, you can't hide bad material under a good processing, it's a tea true to its origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conventional plantations were not able to produce leaves that would satisfy the  demanding pu-erh tea enthusiasts. From 2010 on, a lot of conventional plantations were redesigned. Plantation density was reduced and shade tree were planted in order to build a resilient ecosystem. This design would produce less tea per surface, but would offer better protection against pest and disease and wouldn't require much fertilization. The tea trees were allowed to grow taller, at about 2m high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis design change allowed the farmers to ban pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Thanks to a richer ecosystem and clever design, the leaves would grow high quality leaves and give satisfying Pu-erh tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can learn more about the history of the natural tea gardens in this video:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zpGzC7qk5D0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe whole blend is\u003cstrong\u003e well balanced\u003c\/strong\u003e and brings out this little charm of Jingmai. You get the typical orchid fragrance, although less pronounced than in the Jingmai Gulan. Even though the tea is young, you get some \u003cstrong\u003eminerality\u003c\/strong\u003e: a combination of bitterness and astringency that makes the tea very enjoyable in the mouth. The tea can be brewed about ten times, even more if you like long sweet brews. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWe processed every single batch of this tea by hand\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Jingmai, most tea makers will process the most expensive teas by hand and will use machines for the bulk of their harvest.
