Spring 2020 357g Cake Sheng Pu-erh Ancient Tree Material Collector-Friendly

Flavor & Mouthfeel

  • Aroma: wildflower honey, dried orchard fruit, light pine-resin nuance
  • Palate: orchid-like brightness with a silky, rounded tea texture
  • Finish: clean, lingering sweetness with a refreshing aftertaste
  • Character: elegant, airy, and layered—built for multiple steepings

Why This Cake Is Special

  • Single-season focus: Spring picking for lift and clarity
  • Ancient tree material: depth without harshness
  • Age-worthy structure: enjoyable now, rewarding with careful storage
  • Versatile brewing: gongfu or a relaxed teapot session

Brewing Guide (Simple & Reliable)

Water: near-boiling • Rinse: 1 quick rinse to awaken the leaf

  • Gongfu: short steeps, gradually increasing time as the session progresses
  • Teapot style: slightly longer steeps for a softer, more rounded cup
  • Tip: if the first steeps feel bright, slow down and use a gentler pour

Storage Notes (For Better Aging)

Keep this cake in a clean, odor-free space with stable airflow—avoid kitchens, perfumes, and direct sunlight. Consistency matters more than extremes.

Ancient Tree (Gu Shu) Material: Leaf material sourced from older tea trees, often associated with deeper texture and longer-lasting aftertaste compared to plantation-only material.
