This 2008 Shou (Ripe) Pu-erh Tea Cake is made from premium high-mountain Da Ye Zhong (Large-Leaf) leaves, harvested in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Carefully processed with wet-piling fermentation, it achieves the rich depth and smooth complexity of traditionally aged tea in far less time.

At 17 years old, the tea pours a clear reddish-brown liquor with a smooth, full-bodied mouthfeel and notes of wood, subtle herbs, and gentle aged aroma. Milder and less astringent than Raw Pu-erh, it is easy on the stomach, perfect for daily drinking, and excellent for long-term collection.
