The compressed cake shows golden-brown tips mixed throughout darker leaves. The surface has visible golden buds that indicate palace grade selection. The compression is moderate, allowing easy breaking. The aroma combines aged earthiness with lotus leaf freshness and dried jujube sweetness. The color varies from dark brown to golden-tan.

The liquor steeps a deep reddish-brown, nearly opaque. The first sip reveals sweet, mellow character with immediate smoothness. Earthiness provides a solid base without harshness. Jujube flavor develops, adding dried fruit sweetness. Lotus leaf character emerges, contributing freshness and complexity. The texture is notably smooth and thick with full body.

From Bulang Mountain in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, this 2012 production uses palace-grade golden buds. The age has mellowed the earthiness while developing sweetness. Suitable for ripened pu-erh drinkers seeking smooth, sweet profiles with lotus and jujube notes rather than heavy fermentation character.
