product description
From the high, mist-washed slopes of Daxueshan, this tea develops a refined strip shape and a visibly distinct young-bud character. The liquor feels round and mellow, with a finish that stays active at the throat for a long time. Its depth is easy to judge from the soup color, which reveals a sense of material richness and full-bodied energy. Fertile earth, a favorable climate, and the valley’s spring-to-summer cloud cover all work together to provide an ideal setting for tea cultivation and growth.
This kind of mountain-grown tea is well suited to slow, patient infusions. A warmed gaiwan or a compact clay vessel can help bring out the layered sweetness, while shorter steeps at the start often make the aroma cleaner and the texture more graceful.
The cake is shaped with a traditional stone mill by hand, giving it a classic, artisanal feel. It sits in a round, generous form, neither too tight nor too loose, and the thickness remains uniform across the whole surface. That balanced pressing is helpful for later transformation, allowing the tea to mature steadily over time.
For collectors and everyday drinkers alike, this sort of pressing makes the cake easier to store, break apart, and brew with confidence. It also makes a practical gift for anyone who enjoys traditional Pu’er craftsmanship and the slow pleasure of watching a tea evolve.
The strips are made up of plump, complete buds and leaves, presented in a deep green shade. The material is pressed both inside and out, so the body of the cake looks full while the leaf tips still remain easy to recognize. Rather than appearing cramped, the leaves are neatly distributed, giving the tea a lively, well-formed look.
On infusion, the fragrance is inviting and the liquor moves across the palate with a fine, smooth touch. The first sip seems to soften immediately in the mouth, and a sweet aftertaste continues to echo in the throat. A light aroma reminiscent of millet-flour gruel with sugar adds a gentle, comforting grain note, making the cup feel both layered and unusually pleasant.
After brewing, the leaf base opens into a soft, fertile-looking mass that still feels fresh, plump, and resilient. The leaves keep their elasticity well, and the veins remain clear and bright. For experienced tea drinkers, this kind of leaf bottom often signals careful processing and leaves room for satisfying repeat infusions.
