Pu'er tea (also known as Pu-erh) is often named after its place of origin. Xigui, which translates to "waiting for someone to return," is one such renowned example.

Located in Xigui Village, Bangdong Township, Lincang City, Yunnan Province, Xigui Pu'er is a quintessential Bangdong tea. It is celebrated for producing unique and highly sought-after raw (sheng) Pu'er tea cakes.
