Xiaguan's classic 8653 recipe was first developed in 1986 and produced for many years since then. Our offering is the 8653 blend pressed in 2001. The pressing was done with an iron press and the cake is tightly compressed and has a coin-like flat edge.

The 2001 version of this cake is a classic, and the cake which we are offering here has been aged in Kunming since 2001. 15 years of Kunming storage has given this cake an aged feeling but not compromising it's character or powerful taste and cha qi.

It’s a good tea. Still,

"It’s a good tea. Still, little bit of Xisguan’s smoky flavor with sweetness. But, price?"

— insub H. (5/5)

Fantastic

"This is simply a fantastic tea. It's a nice and crisp, drinkable tea. There's not a ton of sweetness right after drinking it, but after some time, the sweetness kicks in and your mouth feels really nice."

— Jason (5/5)

"This is simply one of the best shengs I have ever tasted. Look at the color of the liquor!"

Good tea.

"I had a session with this tea from a sample. The session was memorable and it was enjoyable. However, for the price, YS has other offerings that would likely be better for most purchasers. I would really reserve purchasing this cake for individuals who like to collect factory teas OR who are just so wealth that $500 bucks is irrelevant. But I would say a 10 gram sample is a worthwhile purchase for those seeking to understand dry aged factory tea. (rated 4/5 for price to quality ratio)"
