Youle Tea Growing Area
Douji Nannuo Mountain
Wild Arbor Tea Cake
2009

• Yunnan Province, China

• Sheng 'raw' Pu-erh

• Produced by the Yi Wu Zheng Shan Tea Co

• This cake is made from 100% wild arbor broad-leaf from ancient tea trees ( trees over 100 years old ) gathered from Youle Mountain

• Stone pressed in 2009: light/medium compression

• To open the cake: gently bend back and forth to loosed the interlocking tea leaves and break the cake into large pieces or use a Pu-erh cake breaking tool ( un-sharp knife )

• The tea liquor has a mouth-filling taste that is full and sweet with a slight undertone of bitterness

• Opinion: Mao cha from these old trees makes characteristically strong, forthright Pu-erh. This cake is drinkable now but will get better with time and proper storage

Infuse many times with very hot water.
