The mini cakes are compressed discs of dark reddish-brown to black leaves, roughly five centimeters in diameter. The compression is moderate, allowing easy separation. The aroma combines glutinous rice character with woody, earthy tones. A natural sweetness emerges alongside fermented depth. The scent is warm and inviting without mustiness.

The liquor steeps to a deep reddish-brown color, nearly opaque. First sips reveal smooth texture with immediate glutinous rice flavor. Woody, earthy character develops mid-palate with sweet undertones. The body is thick and coating. No harsh fermentation notes appear. Multiple infusions maintain consistency with increasing smoothness. The finish is long with persistent sweetness and woody depth.

From Yiwu Town in Yunnan's Xishuangbanna region, this shows traditional ripened processing. Good for drinkers wanting smooth, sweet pu-erh without strong fermentation flavors or the astringency of raw varieties.
