What Makes It Unique
Experience the rare harmony of a mid-aged Sheng Pu-erh at its most rewarding stage—where six years of careful dry storage in Kunming and Xi'an have softened youthful astringency into velvety sweetness, while preserving decades of transformation yet to unfold.
- Century-Old Arbor Heritage: Crafted from ancient tea trees over 100 years old in Lincang's pristine highlands—offering unmatched depth, complexity, and terroir expression unavailable from plantation teas.
- Optimal Mid-Aged Sweet Spot: Six years of natural transformation deliver immediate drinkability with mellow sweetness—no need to wait decades for reward.
- Pristine Dual-City Dry Storage: Professionally aged in Kunming and Xi'an dry warehouses—preserving clean, pure character with zero off-flavors or mustiness.
- Decades of Aging Potential Ahead: Premium ancient arbor material ensures this cake will continue evolving for 20-30+ years—a wise investment for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
- Stone-Pressed Tradition: Authentic hand-pressed craftsmanship allows optimal airflow and gradual fermentation—ensuring balanced, graceful maturation impossible with machine-pressed cakes.
The Story Behind This Tea
High in Yunnan's Lincang Prefecture, where mist-shrouded mountains rise to 1,600 meters above sea level, ancient arbor tea trees have stood for over a century. These venerable giants, descendants of the original Yunnan Big-Leaf varietal (Da Ye Zhong, 大叶种), draw minerals from deep, undisturbed soil and breathe the pure mountain air that defines Lincang terroir. In Spring 2019, skilled harvesters carefully plucked the tender leaves and buds from these heritage trees—material that simply cannot be replicated by younger plantations.
Following time-honored methods, the fresh leaves were sun-dried (Shai Qing, 晒青) under Yunnan's gentle spring sunshine, then stone-pressed (Shi Mo Ya Zhi, 石磨压制) into traditional 357-gram cakes. This artisanal approach preserves the tea's living enzymes and creates the ideal compression for decades of graceful aging. The real magic of aged puerh comes from Sheng puerh. It starts off typically bitter and astringent, but with age can mellow into something truly remarkable.
For six years, these cakes have rested in professional dry-storage warehouses in Kunming and Xi'an—regions renowned for their ideal natural conditions. The ideal dry storage is often called "natural storage." Kunming city in Yunnan is considered the best example of this approach. The conditions there are just right for a slow, clean, and elegant aging process. This pristine environment has gently coaxed the tea through its initial transformation: the once-bright liquor now glows with warm reddish-amber hues, while brisk youthful astringency has softened into honey-kissed sweetness. Yet the journey has only begun—this cake holds decades of evolution within its compressed leaves, waiting to reward the patient collector with ever-deepening complexity.
