The figures below are reported CNY per kilogram. They are asking-price or pre-quotation records, not audited sales averages. “Ancient tree” and the other categories follow the source lists; this site hasn’t verified the claimed ages.

Before comparing a quote
First, establish which village the seller means. A general “Bingdao” listing might describe Laozhai, another village, a blend or a broader Mengku claim. The Bingdao origin guide explains the geography.
Then check the product stage and unit. Fresh leaf, sun-dried maocha and a finished 357 g cake can’t be compared as if they were the same product. Match the harvest season and picking category too.
Finally, ask for the maker, batch and a sample from the tea for sale. A price table can reveal an unusual quote, but it won’t authenticate a cake. For prices elsewhere, see the 2025 Yunnan guide.

Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
What are the five Bingdao villages?
The Bingdao five villages are Bingdao Laozhai, Nanpo, Dijie, Bawai and Nuowu. A label that says only Bingdao does not identify which of the five supplied the tea.
Is Naka one of the five Bingdao villages?
No. Naka is a separate tea origin associated with Mengsong in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna. It is not part of the Bingdao five-village cluster in Mengku.
Is Bingdao Laozhai the same as Bingdao?
Bingdao Laozhai is the narrower Old Village origin. Bingdao can mean the wider five-village cluster or be used loosely as a market name, so the seller still needs to name the village.
Are these Bingdao prices for fresh leaf, maocha or finished cakes?
The source lists present spring-tea raw-material or maocha indications, but public posts do not always define the product stage consistently. Do not compare them directly with a 357 g retail cake.
Does the highest Bingdao price mean the best tea?
No. A high asking price can reflect scarcity, a famous village name, claimed tree category and speculation as well as cup quality. Verify the lot and taste the exact batch before buying.
