Varietal
This tea was pressed the first spring after Longyuanhao was founded, using organically cultivated big leaf varietal tea, and wrapped and aged in bamboo leaf. The clean crisp texture and deep forest aroma of this tea reflect the high aspirations of Li Zhengxing when he founded his workshop to blend some of the best pu'er out there. Wang Yanxin started working with Longyuanhao when they were just getting started and stored a cache of just over 100 of these bricks that she is sharing with us.

'For Chinese New Year, Wang Yanxin resolved to go through her entire collection and pick out teas to release after years of aging. She is offering this tea at the same price she acquired it for, adding markup for neither age nor storage. This makes this tea a fantastic deal. Her early support in the founding years of Longyuanhao make her invested in the workshop's success like she is in her very own Yu Lu Yan Cha.'
