This year's Impression cake is a blend of tea leaves entirely harvested during the first flush of spring 2026. The blend is sourced from 11 different tea gardens in Menghai, Yi Wu, Mengku, Bang Dong, Lancang, Wuliang, and Jinggu 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!

Amazing

"Really satisfying young sheng, sappy fruity wood taste, lasts a good amount of infusions, very consistent huigan (sweet aftertaste). Comes in a loose cake that's easy to pry from with low leaf breakage."
