Description:
Ancient Tree Tea Leaves, Rich Foundation
Made from premium tea leaves harvested from century-old ancient tea gardens in Yunnan’s renowned tea regions. The deep-rooted ancient trees absorb nutrients from deeper soil layers, resulting in tea leaves abundant in compounds (such as tea polyphenols and amino acids), forming a strong, full-bodied, and enduring tea soup.
Traditional Craftsmanship, Stone-Mould Pressing
Produced following traditional Pu-erh tea processing techniques: harvesting, withering, fixation, rolling, and sun-drying to create high-quality sun-dried maocha. The tea is then steamed and pressed into cakes using stone moulds. Stone moulding ensures optimal tightness, allowing gradual interaction between the tea and air, ideal for subsequent aging.
Natural Aging, Unlimited Potential
This tea has undergone years of dry storage natural aging. Its character has gradually transformed from the sharp and cooling nature of young raw Pu-erh to a mellow and smooth profile. The astringency subsides, while aged aroma begins to emerge, resulting in a smoother taste. It also holds high collectible value and will continue to evolve under proper storage conditions, becoming more fragrant and complex over time.
357g Traditional "Seven Sons Cake"
Each cake weighs 357g, the most classic and historically significant size for Pu-erh tea cakes. Seven cakes form a "tong," symbolizing reunion and blessings, highly favored by tea enthusiasts and collectors.
Tasting Notes
Dry Tea: Neatly shaped cake with robust, clear tea strands, visible silver buds, dark green to brown oily appearance, and a refreshing dry tea aroma.
Liquor Color: Varies with aging, transitioning from bright yellow to orange-yellow and eventually orange-red, clear and transparent.
Aroma: Rich and layered, featuring floral, honey, and fruity sweetness as the base, with the distinctive aged aroma and bud fragrance of raw Pu-erh gradually emerging. Long-lasting scent clings to the cup.
Taste: Full-bodied and powerful on the palate, with complex layers. Initial slight astringency dissipates quickly, followed by strong, enduring sweetness and salivation, with a profound throat feel and comfortable body sensation.
Wet Leaves: After brewing, the leaves are thick, soft, and elastic, displaying a yellowish-green color, indicating vitality and excellent craftsmanship.
