This list has held up in subsequent Chinese links. Yesterday there was
a DaDuGang presentation box on TaoBao with a biscuit for each of the
six mountains plus one more making a total of seven which they called
南糯山 NanNuoShan (South Glutinous Mountain). You will occasionally
see NanNuo from other factories including the Menghai factory. So is
the Dadugang factory trying to one up the 6FTM factory or should we
really be talking about seven famous tea mountains in Yunnan?
Thanks,
Jim
Many people focus so much on the famous six mountains that produce pu'er
they have forgotten that there are many other areas that produced this tea.
The Lan Cang river runs through Xishuangbanna; the tea producing region
north of the river are the famous six mountains that we know, and often
considered as 'traditional' pu'er producing regions.
However, south of the river has also 6 famous tea mountains, and these are
mostly where the oldest and possibly the cradle of tea plants are.
They are:
1. Nan Nuo
2. Meng Hai
3. Ba Da
4. Jing Mai
5. Nan Qiao
6. Meng Song
These are the famous tea mountains of the south, but there are others, such
as Ai Lao Shan, Wu Liang Shan, Da Xue Shan, etc etc etc, the list goes on.

Lan Cang river passes through several provinces in China on the western
side, and into Burma, Loas, Cambodia, Vietnam and Thailand. When it flows
into South East Asia, it is called the Mekong river.

Thanks, Danny. My characters for Lan Cang river are ???.
Doesn't this turn into Mekong in Vietnam? I have some JingMai ancient
tree cooked puerh from the LanCang factory. It is one of my favorites.
It comes in 100g ?? (biscuit).

How about the Chinese characters for the six mountains you listed? I
know some but not all. I can work backwards from any gooblygook Simple
or Traditional language pairs generated by your newsreader and will be
happy to repost the Unicode equivalent.
Thanks,
Jim

2. Meng Hai 勐海
3. Ba Da 八大
4. Jing Mai 景迈
5. Nan Qiao 南涧
6. Meng Song 孟松
