Description

The compressed cake shows green to olive-colored leaves with visible stems and buds. The leaves are relatively large with some breakage visible. Breaking the cake releases fresh floral aroma mixed with rock sugar sweetness. The appearance is clean and bright, showing the recent 2022 production date with minimal aging.

The liquor steeps to a pale yellow-green color. Initial taste is sweet and fresh with rock sugar character. Floral notes come through immediately alongside grassy freshness. Brief bitterness appears mid-palate but fades quickly without lingering. The finish is clean and refreshing. The body is light to medium with a smooth texture. Multiple infusions show the sweetness persisting while the bitterness remains minimal.

From Bulang Mountain in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, produced in 2022. This young raw pu-erh shows the fresh character before significant aging transforms the profile. Suits those new to raw pu-erh or drinkers preferring young, sweet versions over aged, complex ones.
