With this lovely cake we celebrate an age-old tradition of mixing raw and ripe pu-erh tea together to create a harmonious blend worthy of aging. Like the famous "Purple Heaven" bricks and cakes from the 80's and 90's, we have blended ripe and raw Pu-erh tea together. The raw and ripe pu-erh both came from the same area as the tea leaves used in our 2016 Spring Mengku Huang Shan cake. The ripe pu-erh is fermented from Huang Shan 2015 spring tea leaves, but both are from the same organic garden!

The addition of raw pu-erh tea to this predominately ripe pu-erh tea cake results in a lovely experience. It's not so different from ripe pu-erh tea, but there is a an additional layer of texture that enhances the overall taste/complexity of the tea but never detracting from it. I tirelessly blended teas together and experimented with ratios to find the best possible outcome. I hope you'll enjoy this lovely tea!

A unique experience

"Bough a cake blindfolded, without having a sample first. I tried it and fell in love with it luckily. It's a unique tea, and is a great in between. I was surprised by how strong the tea is. It's also very persistent, and can last a long session. I found to be some mushroom notes, leather, and a creamy texture. As infusions go, we can see where the shou falls of and the sheng rises up. Vice versa. I'll be ordering some more to age for the long run. Fantastic tea, as always."

Love this cake!

"We were sent a sample with our bulk order at my job, and I set out to buy it ever since we all tried it. The balance of raw and ripe is perfect, and I am in love this this pu'erh. I just got my whole cake in the mail, and am very excited to dig in! Buy the cake, not the sample. You'll just want more if you don't. ;)"

Delicious !!!

"I had a 25gram sample of this - it didn't last long ! So I ordered a couple of cakes last night . Very clean pure tea with a qi to match . The flavours remind me of an aged raw tea - big luscious mushrooms , leather , a touch of cream and some umami notes especially in the later infusions that are also slightly nutty . Good endurance. - brews like a raw tea across many infusions . Really DELICIOUS !!! Nice one Scott !!!!!'"
