Hong Kong Trial Batch Sheng Pu-erh
This 1998 Yiwu Zhengshan raw pu-erh tea cake represents an early batch of pu-erh tea produced for trial distribution to the Hong Kong tea market. Carefully crafted from premium spring tea leaves sourced from ancient tea gardens in the famous Yiwu mountain region, this tea reflects the elegant and refined style that Yiwu pu-erh is known for.
The tea is made from selected spring bud material from Yiwu Zhengshan ancient tea gardens in Yunnan. Each cake weighs 357 grams and is traditionally packaged in a bamboo basket, preserving the heritage style of pu-erh tea storage and presentation.
After more than two decades of aging in Kunming dry storage, the tea has developed a mature and balanced character. The dry leaves release a gentle aged fragrance even before brewing, hinting at the depth of flavor developed over time.
When brewed, the tea produces a clear and bright liquor, reflecting the quality of the tea material and careful storage conditions. The aroma is elegant and refined, with natural aged notes and subtle sweetness.
The flavor is smooth, mellow, and balanced, offering a classic aged Yiwu profile known for its softness and depth. The tea liquor glides gently across the palate with a comfortable texture and lingering sweetness that develops with each infusion.
As the tea continues through multiple brews, its layered aromas gradually unfold, revealing the depth and complexity typical of well-aged raw pu-erh tea.
This tea is an excellent example of classic aged Yiwu pu-erh, offering a refined and elegant drinking experience appreciated by both collectors and traditional tea enthusiasts.
