I bought a full pound of this tea after sampling it. I've now had it for a year. When I first got it, it was a bit one dimensional with a good structural bitterness that quickly fades to sweet throat resonance. Very nice huigan. After aging a year, its picked up some very juicy fruit notes and its become a very good sheng at an absolutely insane price. Punches WAY above its price tag. Honestly, I may just have gotten better at tasting puer, but I do think the maocha format allows the tea to develop very quickly. I'm considering buying more and pressing it after a year of aging: it would make a fun project to learn about processing.

A fine intro to raw puer and a great daily-drinker. It has the classic aroma of under-ripened apricots and a cup character of a wild jungle.
Harvested and produced September 3, 2025 by Mr. Yan Yi Sao on Jingmai Mountain, Lancang County, Yunnan Province. It’s a one bud, two leaf pick from the Yunnan Big Leaf cultivar growing at 5,900 feet.
