About 2016 Wuliang Mountain Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake 357g
This 2016 Wuliang Mountain ripe Pu-erh tea cake is currently in its mid-stage of maturation. The leaves are sourced from mountain tea gardens in the Wuliang Mountain range, where older trees and high internal vitality support a light to medium fermentation style. After nearly ten years of natural ageing, the early fermentation aromas of young ripe tea have fully dissipated, resulting in a stable and well-integrated profile.
Wuliang Mountain tea leaves are naturally rich in tea polyphenols, amino acids, and organic compounds. As a result, the liquor displays gentle notes of ripe fruit and plum layered over the classic earthy and aged character of ripe Pu-erh. The mouthfeel is smooth, rounded, and well-structured.

Smooth as silk with a plummy undertone that catches you off guard. Ten years has done wonders.

The plum notes are subtle but they’re there, layered underneath that classic pu-erh earthiness. After about the fourth steep it gets noticeably sweeter and rounder. Really well-balanced for a ripe tea that’s been sitting for almost a decade.
