    This beautiful pu’er cake is pressed entirely from delicate golden buds, all picked in Bulangshan, a region famous for its complex cooling evergreen-forward pu’er flavor profiles. Aged over a decade, this pu’er shows off notes of sweet molasses cake, foresty redwood bark, cinnamon, elderberry, and a hint of gardenia. The aftertaste makes this cake feel even older with its dark complex aromatics.

Wang Yanxin also recommends:

  • 'Most pu’er does become more complex over time. Astringency mellows out, darker and richer flavors come through. Textural complexities become more pronounced. Starting with an intriguing young pu’er of high quality with lots of textures and flavors at play will increase your chances of graceful aging.'
