Baotang is located in Mangsong Township, Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It consists of New Village and Old Village, with their ancient Tea gardens connected into a single area. This is the oldest ancient tea garden in the Mangsong tea mountain area and also the earliest ancient tea garden planted by the Lahu people. Baotang boasts rich vegetation and a favorable ecological environment. The more than 1,000 mu (ancient Chinese unit of area) of ancient tea land all belong to the Pu'er tea variety, with most trees aged between 300 to 500 years. It is one of the better-preserved ancient tea gardens within the Pu'er tea production area in terms of its ecological environment.

The ancient tea trees in Baotang coexist with the forest's mixed trees. The distribution density of the ancient tea trees is relatively low, scattered throughout the forest. These ancient tree teas possess a powerful and dominant wild character, with a strong and lasting sweet aftertaste. The dry tea has tightly bound twigs, is dark and lustrous, and produces a bright golden-yellow infusion. The tea has a strong wild aroma, with a lingering and potent fragrance at the bottom of the Cup. The largest and oldest ancient tea trees in Mangsong are concentrated in Old Baotang Village, while New Baotang Village emerged due to the cultivation of tea.
