Ruan Shilin has been deeply involved in the production of Bangluo Tuan tea, a traditional Puerh tea-making technique, since childhood. Under the guidance of Liu Guanglong, he learned the tea-making methods handed down through generations. Ruan is dedicated and passionate about his craft, strictly adhering to the principle of processing the tea immediately after picking. The tea tree variety he uses is a rare, ancient cultivar exclusive to the Lancang River region. The picking standard is one bud and two leaves, locally known as “one leaf embraces two leaves.”

With over 30 years of experience and innovation, Ruan has refined his traditional tea-making skills to a high level. He has mastered every stage of the process and developed a unique style, producing tea of exceptional quality at fair prices. Today, Bangluo Tuan tea is esteemed as the highest gift in Linxiang District and is treasured by Puerh tea enthusiasts and collectors.

Ruan Shilin now mentors apprentices, including Ruan Jinwei, and is a prominent tea maker in the region. Under his guidance, the village has prospered through the production, processing, and sale of tea, making significant contributions to the preservation of traditional tea-making techniques.
