Historical Significance In the mid-1990s, Yishan Tea House undertook the production of this imperial ripe Pu-erh cake using high-grade bud tips. At that time, the entire batch was shipped to Taiwan, making it a rare find. By a stroke of luck, in 2005, the shop owner managed to acquire a batch stored in Kunming through a Taiwanese friend. This acquisition is significant because, in the early days, few manufacturers were willing to ferment ripe Pu-erh using high-grade tea leaves due to the high risk involved. Therefore, a pure material aged ripe Pu-erh tea of such high grade is extremely rare. Packaging and Appearance After more than twenty years, the packaging has developed some slight damage, which is a testament to its age and authenticity. There are traces of tea oil on the packaging, indicating the richness of the tea. Despite the minor packaging damage, the cake surface remains intact and impressive, covered with golden bud tips. The high-grade bud tea is rich in internal substances, and over the years, a lot of tea oil has emerged, making the entire tea cake look very oily and appealing. Taste and Aroma The taste of this aged Ripe Pu-erh Fermented Tea is quite distinctive and offers a unique sensory experience. The dry tea has a faint ginseng scent, complemented by the natural ripe aroma of aged ripe tea. Upon brewing, the tea soup reveals a noticeable returning sweetness, is relatively thick and smooth, and has a very mellow taste with a hint of glutinous sweetness. The aged aroma of the tea leaves is quite prominent, and one can detect some ginseng scent while drinking. Overall, it gives a very comfortable and satisfying feeling.
