This is the 2020 edition of Bojun, Mengku Rongshi's flagship ripe pu-erh — stored since production in a private collection in Xi'an, in northwest China's naturally dry climate. One format: a single 500g compressed cake.
Bojun was first released in 2017 as Mengku Rongshi's first departure from conventional ripe pu-erh. The core idea was to ferment batches separately — sorted by material grade, each controlled precisely for temperature, humidity, turning schedule, and duration — then blend after fermentation, rather than doing everything in a single large pile. The result is a ripe pu-erh where the aromatic compounds that drive floral and fruity character are preserved at a high proportion, and the "pile smell" associated with conventional wodui fermentation is minimized.
The 2020 cake was produced during a significant year for the product: Bojun was selected as one of Yunnan's Ten Famous Teas that year, and the brand released a full range of formats to mark the occasion. This 500g cake is the standard-size format from that release — same raw material specification as the Bojun sheng (raw) pu-erh, one bud plus two leaves from vine-trained Mengku large-leaf trees.
Since leaving the factory, this cake has been stored in Xi'an — a city in northwest China with a climate that sits at the other end of the spectrum from Yunnan or Guangdong.
In pu-erh terms, this is a textbook dry storage environment.
Over the years, the sharper edges of a young ripe pu-erh — the rawness, any residual heat from fermentation — have settled.
Mengku Rongshi has been making tea in Shuangjiang, Lincang since 1935. The brand was formally established in 1999 when second-generation Rong Jiasheng acquired the local state-run factory. Their focus has always been on Mengku large-leaf material — Bojun is where they've done their most technically ambitious work.
Produced in compliance with Chinese national food safety standards (GB standard).
