This unique pressing from the Wu Family uses their wild arbor Shou Mei, with a beautiful balance of silvery buds for texture, leaves for flavor and stem for sweet aftertaste. With over five years of age, this tea is already deep, dark,  almost black tea like in flavor, and packed with complex aromatics and spice. The unique pressing leaves a thin disk divided into individual portions for style and convenience.

When it comes to white tea cakes, Mr. Wu’s approach is critical to creating teas that will age and get better and better over time. The key is his high airflow low heat technique. Without applying high heat to stop oxidative and enzymatic reactions by fixing the tea, Mr Wu leaves the tea open to slow steady change and growth.
