Description
xThe 'Ming Qian Large Tree Spring Tip Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake' from Yunnan, located in southwest China, is crafted from the tenderest buds harvested before the Qingming Festival (from February to April).
This season represents the pinnacle of quality for Pu-erh tea. After a long winter dormancy, tea trees accumulate abundant nutrients, producing leaves rich in fine hairs, delicate veins, and a thick, soft leaf base—the unmistakable hallmarks of premium spring tea.
This tea cake has been aged for 8 years, resulting in a tea liquor with a bright amber hue. During the first 1–3 infusions, the flavor is bold and intense, with a quick, lingering aftertaste. From the 4th to the 7th infusion, the tea becomes softer, taking on a mellow and restrained character. By the 7th to 10th infusion, the flavor remains consistent, delivering a sweet and smooth experience.
If you're new to tea cakes or don't have the right tools for opening compressed tea, you may need a tea needle (also known as a tea knife) . It's an essential and enjoyable part of the traditional Chinese tea ceremony.
