Belonging to the post-fermented tea category (Hei Cha), this is an authentic raw (sheng) Pu-erh cake. Prized for its vibrant energy, floral nectar notes, and bold aging potential, it offers a crisp, sweet liquor with an invigorating aftertaste.
💡 Tea Master’s Awakening Tip (醒茶):
For the best brewing experience, gently pry open the outer edges of the cake by hand upon opening and transfer the pieces into a clean, breathable tea canister. Let the leaves rest and aerate for 2 to 4 weeks before steeping. This awakens the compressed leaves, dissipates tight storage aromas, and allows the floral sweetness and bright finish to shine through effortlessly.
