Additional details

Description

The cake shows compressed leaves in olive-green to brown color with visible golden tips. The compression is tight but manageable. The aroma combines fresh fruit character with earthy depth. Honey sweetness appears alongside light apricot notes. A mineral quality suggests ancient tree material. The scent shows age development without mustiness.

The liquor steeps to a clear golden-amber color. Initial taste brings soft earthiness that quickly transitions to sweet apricot brightness. Honey character develops mid-palate with silky texture. Light bitterness appears briefly then converts to sweetness. The body is medium with smooth mouthfeel. Multiple infusions reveal increasing complexity and sweetness. The finish is long with fruit-honey persistence.

From Fengqing County in Yunnan, this 2012 pressing uses ancient tree spring material. Suits drinkers wanting aged raw pu-erh with fruit-forward sweetness and smooth texture rather than highly astringent or heavily earthy young raws.
