Although it shares its name with the Chinese word for Iceland, Bingdao Village in Mengku Town, Lincang City, Yunnan Province is famous for something entirely different – its prized Pu'er tea. Once a wild tea, later cultivated by locals and used by the Dai people for its healing properties, it has been carefully nurtured for generations. Now, thanks to the support of the local government and the dedication of local farmers, Bingdao Pu'er tea is reaching more tea lovers than ever before.
