2013 Yunnan Sourcing Autumn Yi Bang Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

Entirely wild arbor tea material from 80 to 150 year old tea trees in Yi Bang village (an area of north Yi Wu).  Expertly processed by the mother of the Li family in a copper wok by hand.  The tea was picked and processed all in one day.  Tea leaves are stout, with thick stems and olive green appearance.  Tea has strong mouthfeel and pungent aroma.  Not typically autumn in it's character.  Strong cha qi!

Stone-pressed in the traditional manner.  

Just 30 kilos in total produced!

 400 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo tong)
