While Menghai workshop usually focuses on blended pu’ers, this unique pressing highlights the single-origin flavor of Yiwu. Yiwu is famous for its intense cooling foresty profile and this cake devivers with intense rich aromatics and pine forest cooling aftertaste. The silvery buds and long downy leaves already have nearly a decade of slow aging under cooler drier conditions to bring out the sweet florals and build deep nuance.

Tiandiren Workshop blends beautiful shu pu’er. They are known for their deep fruity spiced profile and the sweet clean balanced aftertaste they bring to every cake. This offering is as smooth as any of Tiandiren’s best work, but goes off in an incredible unique direction with notes of basil, ginger and rose along with classic cooling qualities and sweet vanilla.

Zhang Xiang literally means camphor fragrance, and is used to describe those special pu’ers with deep cooling notes that transport us to pine forests after a long rain. This cake is all about its cooling sensation. Surprisingly, while zhang xiang cakes are usually incense and spice forward, this cake brings out nuanced tropical fruit and jasmine florals to accent the first notes.
