Translation tengtiaocha (Teng2 Tiao2 Cha2) = (藤条茶 or 藤條茶) literally Rattan Tea: a method of intensive tea cultivation used in some pu’ercha areas, deployed on a large scale since the Qingmo, with shrubs relatively close together, systematically fostering dingya and pruning away ceya, maximizing leaf quality at the expense of yield, producing a distinctive thicket-like grove; confusingly, there is an assamica cultivar of the same name known in Jinggu and Mengku
