Varietal
Da Du Gang’s blending yields this classic representative cake to showcase their aesthetic. While some shu pu’er is fully focused in a single direction (like cooling foresty notes or warm brown sugar) this cake manages a tight, carefully composed balance of deep minerality, warming spice, cooling camphor, juicy fruit and malty savory undertones, all hitting different parts of the pallet over time. Over a decade of age has given this blend the time it needed to harmonize all the flavor elements for an elegant taste experience.

'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.'
