Menghai/Dayi

Menghai Tea Factory（勐海茶叶厂) was formally established in 1940 by a group of over 90 tea professionals with origins from all over China. It is possibly the oldest specialized tea factory in Yunnan Province. They were one of the first two tea factories (along with the Kunming Tea Factory) to come up with the 'wodui' (渥堆) method of ripening Puerh tea in 1973 and have a series of recipes that are undisputed as some of the finest ripened Pu-erh teas available. Formerly under the umbrella of the state-run CNNP, they went fully private in 1996 and adopted the 'Dayi' (大益) logo.

We have over 300 Menghai/Dayi cakes; many older years.  Please contact us for more information.
