[Tea broth of 2004 Changtai Golden Jinggu with Chen’s Teapot Trademark (Supreme Wild Tea) Raw Tea (Dry Storage) Is A Great Dark Horse]
2004 Golden Jinggu has a very great and high potential for excellent aging. Cloud believes that this tea is the successor of 1970’s Yellow Mark Seven-son Masterpiece Puerh tea cake. The tea fragrance and tea broth of such are very similar to the same of young 1970’s Yellow Mark Seven-son Tea Cake, which is famous for its unique Masterpiece Puerh’s young camphor flavour. This 2004 Golden Jinggu tea cake is definitely a great dark horse, which cannot be underestimated and overlooked.
Jinggu
Jinggu (景谷), a tea town being responsible for mass-production of raw tea leaves under Puerh City Yunnan Province, is rarely known to tea lovers. However, it is an enormous tea production line and warehouse for Puerh leaves raw materials before compression.
According to the statistics, Jinggu (景谷) has no shortage of tea trees and tea leaves materials for commercial compression purpose. It is because there are a total of 360,000 mu (equivalent to 59,400 acre) ancient tea trees groups growing in these very old tea gardens ranging from different sizes.
Little Jinggu
Jinggu (景谷), apart from being the short name of township (where the tea leaves being pickled and processed), is actually also the name of county, namely Jinggu Dai and Yi Autonomous County. This County is located in the southwest of Wuliang Mountain (無量山) and the north of Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture (西雙版納傣族自治州).
In the second year of Emperor Yongzheng's reign during the Qing Dynasty (清雍正二年), i.e. 1724 A.C., the Weiyuan Ting (威遠廳) was officially established. This “Ting” (equivalent to county) name had been using for 187 years until 1911, the first ruling year of Republic of China. It was then renamed to the Weiyuan County (威遠縣).
Unfortunately, Weiyuan County (威遠縣) was exactly the same name as the one located in Sichuan Province (四川省). In order to avoid confusion, the Weiyuan County Yunnan (雲南威遠縣) was renamed as Jinggu County Yunnan (雲南景谷縣) from 1914 A.C., the third year of Republic of China.
After 71 years, Jinggu Dai and Yi Autonomous County was established in 1985. However, what a coincidence, the township name is the same as the county name. Therefore, tea farmers are used to calling the Jinggu Township (景谷鄉) as Little Jinggu (小景谷), which is located north of the county town of Jinggu County.

Storage means the Conditions of the Tea Cakes
“Storage” of Puerh tea always confuses novices. Warehouse means the place for storing stuff or stocks. However, the Dry Storage, Natural Storage and Wet Storage of Puerh tea are not referring to the storage conditions of the warehouse. In fact, Dry, Natural and Wet Storage are the terms for describing the storage status (i.e. ageing condition) of the tea cake itself. In other words, these 3 terms are referring to the degree of wetness of a tea cake. If a tea cake is affected by high humidity, we will describe it as “Wet Storage”. If a tea cake is affected by low humidity, we will describe it as “Dry Storage”.
