This tea cake is composed of spring 2007 harvested Yi Wu Mountain area tea leaves and aged in Jinghong (Xishuangbanna) for 10 years before being brought to Kunming in 2017.

The tea brews up a orange-red tea soup that is viscous and sweet at first taste. The tea also has some mineral, dried fruit and spice character as well, and shows many sides during a typical gong fu session.
If you are looking for a bargain single-estate Yi Wu with some age, then look no further!
