Qiaomu Wang, originating from the Mengku tea region in Lincang, Yunnan, showcases the distinctive flavor of arbor tea trees.
The tea cake is a traditional Qizi Bing, crafted according to the classic standards of raw Pu-erh tea. Each cake weighs approximately 357 grams, and seven cakes are wrapped together in bamboo leaves, giving it the name "Seven Sons Cake." These seven cakes form a tong (bundle), weighing approximately 2,500 grams. This specification, rooted in historical practices for ease of trade and transportation, remains a significant part of Pu'er tea culture today.
Cake Weight: 357 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo tong).
Over the past 13 years of storage, we have conducted quarterly flipping and inspections of each tong to ensure proper air exposure for every cake, promoting consistent and even aging across the entire batch.
Please note that the packaging of aged tea cakes may naturally develop creases or signs of wear over time. This is entirely normal and does not affect the tea's quality or flavor. Instead, these marks serve as a testament to the tea's storied journey through time. As Pu-erh tea ages, it deepens in complexity, character, showcasing its truly unique charm.
