This year's Impression cake is a blend of tea leaves from Spring and Autumn, originating from Mengku, Bang Dong, and Jing Gu tea gardens.

The tea has been grown naturally and processed in the traditional method. We blended various teas together to achieve a powerful blend that has strong mouth feeling, cha qi and a balanced sweet, bitter and astringent profile.

In 2012 I created the first impression blend to be an alternative to a Xiaguan or Da Yi 7542, but it has far surpassed those mass market teas in both quality and value!  I also feel strongly that this tea being very strong in aroma, mouthfeel, bitter/astringent, infusability and Cha Qi, makes it a good choice for long-term aging!

Fully satisfied sensations

"I had to go back into the Yunnan Sourcing web to check if I was right. Yes I was right. I bought this tea for 23,49€ /375gr Cake! It is such a delicious tea that I thought there must be something wrong. Of course it is a blend etc, but does the feeling care? Very balanced tasteful feeling. Love it! Best price-quality-sensation relation ever. Thanks to YS!"

Very nice

"Really enjoyed the tea. Though I mainly drink ripe puer, drinking this tea has been a nice change of pace."

— Batuhan B. (4/5)

Even better than the 2018

"Impression is a super affordable and delicious young sheng. It is pretty easy to brew and doesn't get too astringent unless you really over-infuse it. The 2019 has even less young sheng bite than the 2018 did when it came out. The taste reminds me of a not-smokey XG sheng."

Best tea on the Planet

What else can you ask for?

"I got this as my freebie from my $200+ order. I’m new to puerh and didn’t think I would be able to distinguish this tea from the one or two other puer tea cakes I have at home. That was an error. It’s superior to the equally priced cakes I purchased online because I liked the wrapper. And guess what? I like this wrapper too! I second that this tea has all the complexity sheng puerh is known for, strong mouth feeling, cha qi and a balanced sweet, bitter, astringent profile. Great cooling sensation as well!"

— David E. (5/5)

Amazing for the price

"Sweet ,soft ,bitter, astringent ,light ,refreshing ,clean ,fruity ,honey and I think It also tastes a little like Nopales (cactus)... this tea is a bargain in the sheng puerh section ... No one I serve this to can taste its affordable price and I have been picking this tea over many of my other new more expensive factory teas again and agian . I WILL BUY MORE !"
