This huge 500g pressing from the small Kai Gu Workshop is an under-the-radar treasure - stone pressed for light compression and even, well-rounded aging. Blended from wild arbor tea tree foraged leaves and buds, this cake was made with respect for the environment. Nearly twenty years of aging show off the way Kai Gu Workshop’s thoughtful agriculture and craft yields stunning flavor and texture. Notes of fennel, rye bread, cardamom, lingonberry, apricot and jasmine with an expansive juicy 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.'
