2025 Rhino Tan Ancient Tree Spring Tea · Secret Collection
"Menghai’s First Fragrant Concubine," a forest poem of strength and grace

The name “Rhino Tan” originates from the Hani word “Nai Yalang,” meaning a muddy pond where rhinos once rested. According to the historical records of Pasha Village, when the Hani ancestors migrated here during the Tang dynasty, they discovered wild rhino herds frequently rolling in the mountain mud ponds and foraging among rocks. The villagers respectfully named the area “Nai Yalang.” Although rhinos have become extinct in recent times due to environmental changes, the old muddy ponds and legends remain. The tea mountain thus took the name “Rhino Tan,” preserving this ecological memory of coexistence between the ancient forest and humans.

| Early Infusion | Tea soup is golden and glossy, smooth and silky on the palate; saliva flows like springs on the tongue sides, while wild honey aroma explosively fills the mouth
| Mid Infusion | The tea soup is thick like honey syrup, with Ban Zhang-style vigorous tea qi; throat resonance reaches the chest, bitterness transforms into delicate rock sugar sweetness on the tongue, like sunlight filtering through forest gaps
| Late Infusion | Honey and woody aromas mingle, the sweetness floods back rapidly like tides; continuous saliva production on both cheeks, rock-scented rock sugar sweetness rises in the throat, body feels warm with palms sweating
| Final Infusion | Bitterness completely fades, sweetness dominates; the leaves release fresh herbal scents, the lingering taste like bamboo dew dripping on moss, and throat coolness lasts for half an hour

The taste of Rhino Tan is the wild gene locked in Nannuo’s mist, the symphony of strength and grace in red soil and rock resonance.
