Product details

This 2020 Daxueshan Raw Pu'er Tea Cake is a premium aged raw sheng pu'er, made with ancient tree tea leaves sourced from the high-altitude primeval forest area of Mengku Daxue Mountain, Lincang, Yunnan. This world-famous ecological tea region boasts exceptional natural terroir and abundant ancient tea resources. All raw tea materials come from century-old wild ancient tea trees growing deep in the untouched alpine forests. Far away from urban pollution and modern industrial tea plantations, these trees grow with minimal human interference. The high-altitude tea zone is wrapped in persistent mountain mist, with fresh air, mild temperatures, and mineral-rich native mountain soil. The gentle natural environment slows the growth cycle of ancient tea trees, allowing them to fully absorb nutrients and aromatic compounds, forming a distinctive wild forest flavour profile, while building a solid foundation for refined taste and long-term aging potential.

This is a standard 357-gram pu'er tea cake, crafted from authentic Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried raw tea, pressed by traditional hand-made pu'er techniques. Following classic raw pu'er processes, the tea leaves undergo natural sun-drying and careful manual sorting to remove broken leaves, impurities and inferior raw materials, preserving the authentic texture and natural flavour of Yunnan large-leaf ancient tree tea. Made with an all-natural production philosophy, this tea contains no artificial flavours, synthetic additives, or artificial colourants, with minimal industrial processing, to ensure every tea cake delivers the pure, genuine taste of high-altitude ancient mountain tea.

Since its harvest in 2020, years of natural dry storage have helped this raw pu'er develop a balanced, mellow and consistent flavour, creating a smoother drinking experience than newly produced raw pu'er. The tea cake is tightly pressed, with neat, intact tea strips and a subtle deep green hue, reflecting the refined character of well-aged ancient tree pu'er. When brewed using traditional Chinese gongfu tea methods, it produces a clear, translucent golden-amber tea liquor with no cloudiness or impurities. It features layered, elegant wild floral notes, subtle forest undertones, and a delicate natural sweetness unique to high-altitude ancient tree tea.

In terms of flavour experience, this aged Daxueshan raw pu'er tastes bright, clean and very approachable. It has soft, well-balanced bitterness that fades quickly, followed by a clean, long-lasting sweet aftertaste and a pleasant lingering throat feel. The tea liquor is smooth, rounded and pure, without harsh astringency, sharp irritation or off-notes. It has a gentle, clean character that showcases the refined quality of aged high-altitude ancient tree raw pu'er.

Excellent aging potential is the key highlight of this premium raw pu'er.
