Every year he goes to the tea hills in Mengsong, Yunnan, and chooses the best raw pu’er from 200+ year old ancient tea trees. These leaves are pressed by hand with stone tools to their current shape. The result is one of my favorite teas I’ve ever had – it’s a powerful raw pu’er that is deep, energizing, and exudes a wonderful aroma. The color is rich gold and the flavor is sweet with a well-balanced tannin-ey astringency. What is a “Raw Pu’er Cake”? Raw Pu’er is a type of tea popular throughout China for its golden color and complex flavor combining sweetness, aroma, and tannin astringency. Pu’er cakes are simply loose-leaf tea pressed into discs for ease of transport. This tradition of making tea cakes goes back to the ancient Tea Horse Road trading route, when the tea was transported up into Tibet on dirt roads and packing efficiency was crucial. @yourteaguy Answer to @eeyoreaf cannot.
