1. Origin & Raw Materials
This tea cake hails from the west half of a mountain range in Yunnan, China. At about 1,800 - meter altitude, it has a cool, humid climate with 1,400 - 1,600 mm of annual rainfall and 16 - 19°C average temp. The old tea trees here, with deep roots, absorb rich nutrients. Their leaves are thick, full - bodied, and rich in polyphenols, amino acids, and caffeine.
2. Appearance & Aroma
The cake is neatly pressed, with a smooth surface in dark green to earthy brown. Golden buds are among the well - defined leaves. Dry, it has a fresh, floral - herbal aroma. Brewed, wildflower and earthy scents emerge, followed by a sweet, mellow note.
3. Collection Value
Old tea trees are scarce, so production is limited. It has great aging potential, and it represents the region's long - standing tea - making culture. Whether you're a tea lover, health - conscious, or a collector, this tea cake is a worthy choice.
4. Taste & Brewing
It offers a rich, full - bodied taste. Briskness comes first, then sweetness. Bitterness quickly turns to a long - lasting sweet aftertaste. The flavor includes fruit, honey, and earthy notes. Use a Yixing teapot or gaiwan, boiling water, 8 - 10 grams of tea (1:15 - 1:20 ratio). For the first three brews, infuse the tea for 10 - 15 seconds. For each subsequent infusion, increase the infusion time by 5 seconds.. It can be brewed 8 - 10 times.
