This special rare release is one of Wang Yanxin’s favorite cakes that she has aged in the last twenty years. She managed to acquire this 2005 cake just a few years after it was pressed, and kept it protected and climate-controlled for twenty years because she loved it so much when it was made that she wanted to be sure to see it build up the depth and power it deserved. Now in 2025, she has decided to keep just a few cakes for herself and send us the rest to share. While it is hard not to keep it all ourselves, this tea is too good not to share. The wild arbor old tree foraged leaves and buds have taken on a mouth-watering, electrifying cooling sweet aftertaste and texture with notes of sandalwood, spearmint, pine, apricot blossoms and almond brittle.

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.'
