This decade and a half aged pu’er cake from small workshop Yan Zi Tou was pressed as a reserve-level high-end cake made primarily of bud material from old tea trees. Traditional stone molds were used for old-school weighted pressing- meaning loose and even compression for better long term aging. All the attention to detail back in 2009 is paying off now with beautiful notes of green apple, almond, marigold, snap pea, and cedarwood with a silky sweet tingling and cooling texture.

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.'
