Location and hierarchy
Nannuo lies in Gelanghe Hani Township and contains multiple settlements and slopes. Garden conditions and access vary within the mountain, so village-level information can materially improve an origin record.
Why this origin matters
Nannuo is important to the history of Menghai tea, community-managed gardens and modern tea research. It also demonstrates how a famous mountain can contain both older garden systems and later plantings.
How to read the market name
Ask whether 'Nannuo' identifies a specific village or is a regional collection. Terms such as old tree, ecological and wild require separate evidence.
Practical guidance
Record the exact Chinese place name from the producer and locate it within Gelanghe before comparing prices or tasting notes.
Identification and caution
Old photographs or stories about famous trees do not prove that a retail batch came from those trees.
