This cake is an historic opportunity to experience true single origin tea. Every leaf in the cake comes from a single numbered wild tree over 1800 years old, hand-picked by Master Zhou and pressed into numbered hand editioned cakes. Tea from wild trees this old makes for a wild sparkling textural experience and a flavor full of incense, camphor and wild medicinal herbs. Only 100 cakes were pressed this year. Don't miss the opportunity to invest in something with unbelievable aging potential.

'Eighteen hundred years ago, China was under the Han Dynasty. Tea as a beverage hadn’t yet been discovered. Tea was being used as a medicine, but not until the Tang did tea become popular as a drink of its own. It was not until the Song that people developed a ceremony around tea, almost a thousand years after this tree sprouted. For us to steep its leaves feels like entering a very holy place, a place worthy of respect.'
