Pu'er tea (also known as Pu-erh Tea) is often named after its place of origin, and "Xigui" is no exception. The name carries the poetic meaning of "waiting for someone to return."

Located in Xigui Village, Bangdong Township, Lincang City, Yunnan Province, it stands as a quintessential representative of Bangdong tea, producing a unique and sought-after tea cake.
