Product description Description: Ancient Tree Tea Leaves, Rich Foundation Made from premium tea leaves harvested from century-old ancient tea gardens in Yunnan’s renowned tea regions. The deep-rooted ancient trees absorb nutrients from deeper soil layers, resulting in tea leaves abundant in compounds (such as tea polyphenols and amino acids), forming a strong, full-bodied, and enduring tea soup. Traditional Craftsmanship, Stone-Mould Pressing Produced following traditional Pu-erh tea processing techniques: harvesting, withering, fixation, rolling, and sun-drying to create high-quality sun-dried maocha. The tea is then steamed and pressed into cakes using stone moulds. Stone moulding ensures optimal tightness, allowing gradual interaction between the tea and air, ideal for subsequent aging. 357g Traditional "Seven Sons Cake" Each cake weighs 357g, the most classic and historically significant size for Pu-erh tea cakes. Seven cakes form a "tong," symbolizing reunion and blessings, highly favored by tea enthusiasts and collectors. Tasting Notes Dry Tea: Neatly shaped cake with robust, clear tea strands, visible silver buds, dark green to brown oily appearance, and a refreshing dry tea aroma. Liquor Color: Varies with aging, transitioning from bright yellow to orange-yellow and eventually orange-red, clear and transparent. Aroma: Rich and layered, featuring floral, honey, and fruity sweetness as the base, with the distinctive aged aroma and bud fragrance of raw Pu-erh gradually emerging. Long-lasting scent clings to the cup. Taste: Full-bodied and powerful on the palate, with complex layers. Initial slight astringency dissipates quickly, followed by strong, enduring sweetness and salivation, with a profound throat feel and comfortable body sensation. Wet Leaves: After brewing, the leaves are thick, soft, and elastic, displaying a yellowish-green color, indicating vitality and excellent craftsmanship. Brewing Guide Teaware: Recommended: Yixing Zisha Teapot (retains heat and aroma well) or Porcelain Gaiwan (ideal for observing liquor color and aroma changes). Water Temperature: 95-100°C boiling water is essential to fully unlock the tea’s qualities. Steps: Warm Teaware & Rinse Tea: Heat the teaware with boiling water. Add 7-8g of tea, pour boiling water, and immediately discard to awaken the leaves and remove impurities. Brewing: Steep briefly for the first few infusions (5-8 seconds) to experience the rapid evolution of aroma and layers. Gradually increase steeping time in subsequent brews based on taste and leaf expansion. Sipping: Ancient tree raw Pu-erh is highly resilient, yielding 15+ infusions. Each brew offers subtle changes, allowing you to explore its aging trajectory and charm. Storage & Collection This product holds significant collectible value.
