Sourced by Wang Yanxin

Small farmers and micro-workshops across Yunnan are often denied the chance to show off their incredible work, overshadowed by big labels. Wang Yanxin believes in small producers, helping them reach a wide audience without big brand labels.
 
The result is pristine, hand-finished tea, aged offerings and regional collaborations that inspire new styles. Wang Yanxin has devoted her career and formidable palate to these collaborations, searching far and wide for the very best.
    • DATE OF PICKING2019
    • Lincang RegionYunnan Province
    • ELEVATION500-1400 meters
    • Da Ye ZhongTea Varietal

    This 2019 harvest was allowed to age loose for three years to kickstart deep complexity before being pressing into cakes for long term aging in 2022. The Da Xue Shan Lincang provenance gives this a unique honey, basil and dried apple flavor with a very classic, sweet balanced aftertaste.

    Notes from Yongming’s blender: Da Xue Shan pu’er is known for its smooth rich body and wild mountain aromatics, drawn from the deep forest where the leaves are painstakingly hand-picked. Small production. Golden vibrant color, sweet and fragrant on the first sip with a strong intense, mouth-watering aftertaste.

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.'
