2018 Yunnan Raw Pu-erh Tea Mini Cake - Tea Sample
  • Origin & Harvest: Sourced from a remote family-run tea garden in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, renowned for producing high-quality ancient tree Pu-erh tea.
  • Tea Form: Carefully wok-fired mao cha (unpressed loose raw Pu-erh leaves) that removes grassy bitterness while preserving vibrant aroma.
  • Aging Process: Naturally aged for 7 years, including 3 years before pressing, successfully passing through Pu-erh’s common “awkward phase,” resulting in a smooth and mellow liquor. This makes it an ideal aged Pu-erh tea sample.
  • Flavor Profile: The liquor is rich and mellow, with intense wild mountain aromas complemented by delicate floral and fruity notes, typical of premium Yunnan raw Pu-erh tea.
  • Product Specifications: Hand-pressed into mini tea cakes approximately 4 cm in diameter and weighing about 10 grams, presented as unwrapped cakes to fully showcase the pure mountain terroir.
  • Design Highlights: Features a center groove allowing the cake to be split into two infusions, making it easy to control liquor strength and enjoy layered tasting experiences.

Experience the pure essence of Yunnan’s terroir in this handcrafted raw Pu-erh mini tea cake sample presented in its natural unwrapped form.
