Description
xThis is a tea cake made from raw Pu'er tea leaves (loose tea) harvested in 2014 from ancient tea trees in the deep mountains of Yunnan, China. These ancient trees grow in remote wilderness areas, where inaccessible roads, harvesting difficulties, and low economic benefits have left the tea trees in a state of natural growth, completely isolated from the outside world, allowing their ecological characteristics to be fully preserved.
Here, we would like to briefly introduce the two primary methods of processing Pu'er tea: 'single-origin' and 'blended.' Single-origin tea refers to raw materials sourced from the same region and the same type of tea tree, which highlights the regional characteristics. In contrast, blended tea is made by combining tea leaves from different areas or varieties, resulting in a more complex flavor profile and diverse taste.
This 2014 Yunnan Ancient Tree Raw Pu'er Tea Cake is crafted using a blend of tea leaves from various tea trees within the same region. Due to the diversity of tea tree species in the wilderness area but limited production, this blending method not only showcases the regional characteristics but also integrates the unique flavors of naturally grown tea trees. The entire tea cake is meticulously crafted using traditional techniques, preserving the natural state and aging potential of Pu'er tea. It is unfermented, allowing the tea to retain its original components and natural components flavors fully.
After 11 years of aging, this tea has shed its initial bitterness and developed a more complex aroma, with a tea liquor that is fuller and more stable. Born in the untouched wilderness of the deep mountains, we invite you to savor this unique tea.
