    This lovely shu pu’er cake is predominantly golden bud material, blended with young, tender leaf for a rich, thick texture and commanding flavor. Pressed over a decade ago, this tea has had ample time to develop lingering cooling sensation in the aftertaste and a unique sticky rice profile. While most shu pu’er either moves towards foresty menthol flavors or deep brown sugar fruits, this cake provides a “nuo mi xiang” sticky rice aromatic profile that sets it apart.


  • '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.'
