Description

The compressed cake shows twisted, dark green to brown leaves with golden tips visible throughout. Leaves are substantial and varied in size, indicating ancient tree material. The dry cake emits fresh, sweet aromas with floral and honey-like notes plus bright citrus undertones.

Brewing produces clear golden-yellow liquor. Initial infusions open with rock candy sweetness and nectar-like flavor that coats the mouth smoothly. Mid-steeps introduce tangy citrus brightness balanced by earthy depth. Later infusions reveal soft floral notes while maintaining body. The mouthfeel builds with each steep, creating lasting sweetness on the palate.

From Xigui village in Lincang, Yunnan, known for producing raw pu-erh with strong sweetness and mineral character from high-elevation terroir. This 2020 vintage offers immediate drinkability while having aging potential. Suits those who prefer sweeter raw pu-erh profiles over heavily bitter varieties.
