This 2019 Yunnan Aged White Tea Cake is harvested from Yunnan's old tea trees, located in one of China’s premier tea regions. Renowned for its large-leaf old tea trees and rich tea heritage, Yunnan’s unique terroir and pristine environment produce teas with exceptional aging potential and deep, layered flavors.

Origin & Heritage

The fresh leaves are carefully handpicked from high-altitude old tea gardens in Yunnan.

These plump tea buds are rich in polyphenols and amino acids. They lay a solid foundation for the mellow and complex character that develops during the aging process of aged white tea.

Complexity in White Tea

Breaking away from the traditional white tea (Bai Cha) profile dominated by small- to medium-leaf varieties, Yunnan old tree white tea quietly leads a revolution in taste complexity.

Unlike traditional white teas, which are often light and delicate, this aged white tea presents a bold and profound flavor that deepens with each infusion.

Traditional Sun-Withering Process

Much like the soul of Fuding white tea, Yunnan white tea naturally undergoes a 48- to 72-hour withering process under strong sunlight and dry mountain winds at high altitude.

Ultraviolet rays activate glycosidase enzymes, slowly releasing the tea’s internal compounds. This process creates its signature wild honey aroma along with a gentle sun-dried scent.

Pressed for Aging & Collection

After drying, the tea is lightly pressed into cakes—firm yet naturally formed.

This makes it easy to store while preserving the leaf’s original elegance. For collectors and connoisseurs, it is an ideal choice to experience the transformation of tea over time.
