Over the years, the team has curated a collection of Chinese Pu-erh teas, following a philosophy similar to collecting fine wine: flavors develop, mature, and become more compelling with age.

Storage and Aging Process

This 2012 Yunnan Lincang Mengku Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake has been carefully stored for 13 years.

  • Each tong is flipped and inspected quarterly to ensure proper aeration.
  • Consistent storage practices guarantee even aging across all tea cakes, enhancing flavor development and overall quality.

Packaging and Aging Notes

The outer packaging of well-aged Pu-erh cakes may naturally show slight creases or signs of wear over time. This is normal and does not affect tea quality or flavor.

These marks reflect the tea’s journey through time. As it continues to age, the tea develops deeper complexity and a captivating character, revealing the unique charm of traditional Raw Pu-erh.
