Spring 2003 Harvested Yi Wu from a small Yi Wu local producer!  This is a stone-pressed cake aged in Yi Wu and then Kunming.

This an excellent example of a well aged Yi Wu tea with a thick buttery mouthfeel and fruity sweet character.  Very smooth and enjoyable Yi Wu tea!

Reviews

I liked it at first. . .

"I ordered a sample and really liked it at first, but then after spending more time with the tea I started to pick up "rubber tire" and "wet plastic tarp" notes that I couldn't escape. Compared to other aged shengs is fairly clean tasting, but definitely not 100% clean tasting. Honestly it might be too aged, there is no astringency or bitterness, but the "rubber tire basement" notes are hard to swallow. I hope I'm just in a funk now because I've purchased 3 of these cakes. . . Will update review if I change my mind or get through this funk. Still probably the best aged sheng ive tried. Just can't drink it right now."

Excellent Aged Puer

"Active raw pu-erh with briney and sweet mushroom broth character. Mostly I enjoy this in the afternoon. Never too strong. Just right."

— Guillermo D. (5/5)

A blessing.

"This tea, might be misunderstood if you compare it, to an other tea that is nothing alike. It’s not a powerfull punchy tea. It is an antidote to that. It is a very flavorfull, simple tea, that you can drink anytime. Even at night. It does NOT have a punchy, destroying QI. It has a HUGELY calming Qi. You should almost think of this as a tea, to drink back to back to a powerfull beast, that you regret drinking."

— Thibaud (5/5)

Disappointingly Flat

"It tastes like an aged puer. However, the taste is too flat in my opinion. When drinking raw puer this old I'm expecting a bigger punch and a bigger depth of flavor."

— Tomer L. (3/5)

Sweet and Smooth

"Mild and simple with classic aged Yi Wu flavor. Sweet and smooth."

Value Cake

"Excellent value. A bit simple but good mouth feel, very fruity, and with some lingering sweetness. The cake I received was very clean. For my palate, this tea has a surprising amount of raw tang for a 2003 tea. I would not be surprised if this continues to mellow into a sweeter, even greater value version of itself."

— Stephen (5/5)

The Queen of Pu'er

"This is a lovely example of an early 2000's Yi Wu. I've had wonderful experiences with this year in particular. And this one is among my favorites. Classic sweet overtones, enough of the earthy strength, but consistently smooth. I'd recommend at least grabbing a sample to experience. Love this Yunnan Sourcing company. I've learned so much from them."
