The cake consists of small, dark brown leaves tightly compressed with minimal stems visible. The fine-grade material shows consistent leaf size throughout. Opening releases prominent aged rice aromas mixed with woody scents and sweet caramel notes.

Brewing produces a deep mahogany liquor, nearly black in darker concentrations. The first infusion coats the mouth immediately with thick, sweet glutinous rice character. Mid-steep transitions bring forward dark chocolate and rich caramel flavors. The body remains heavy and viscous across all infusions. Later steeps develop more pronounced woody undertones while maintaining the core sweetness. Earthy richness persists through six to seven brews without any harshness or drying effects.

From Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, produced in 2011 as palace-grade material. Appeals to ripened pu-erh enthusiasts seeking premium leaf grades and thick, sweet body with substantial age.
