Additional details

Description

The compressed cake displays olive-green to brown leaves with good integrity. Breaking off a section releases strong honey and dried fruit aromas. The leaves show medium size with some golden tips mixed throughout. The 2017 production shows moderate aging with color darkening from the original bright green.

Brewing produces a clear golden-yellow liquor. The first taste brings dried apricot and citrus notes together with immediate fruitiness. Rock sugar sweetness appears mid-palate, transitioning into honey character. Apple and quince flavors develop in the finish, adding complexity. The texture is smooth with medium body. The finish is refreshing and clean. Later steeps maintain the fruit-honey balance with the sweetness becoming more pronounced.

From Fengqing County in Lincang City, Yunnan Province, produced in 2017. Several years of aging has developed the fruit character while maintaining freshness. Good for raw pu-erh drinkers who prefer fruit-forward profiles with pronounced sweetness over bitter or earthy styles.
