This Yiwu Qizi Ripe Pu-erh Tea cake is made from large-leaf tea material sourced from the Yiwu region of Yunnan and was compressed into a cake in 2016. Yiwu is well known for its gentle tea character and well-balanced internal structure. Compared with more assertive Pu-erh regions, Yiwu material emphasizes stability and harmony, making it particularly suitable for producing ripe Pu-erh with a smooth, approachable profile.
The tea cake is well-shaped and evenly compressed, with a balanced firmness. The surface shows naturally loosened leaf strands, where tender buds are interspersed with mature leaves, reflecting the refined selection typical of imperial-grade material. The overall tone is deep reddish-brown, with clear signs of natural aging.
In style, Yiwu Pu-erh is known for its softness and coordination. This tea presents a mellow and rounded structure with a smooth, continuous body. As the tea has aged, the fermentation notes and aging character have gradually integrated, allowing the aged aroma to emerge steadily. Subtle earthy nuances accompany this aged character, with faint floral undertones in the background. The liquor is deep red and translucent, rich yet clear, resembling a polished red agate shaped by time.

Yiwu Mountain ranges in altitude from approximately 656 to 2023 meters, creating a complex vertical climate with both warm-humid and warm-temperate characteristics. The region is often covered in mist, with fertile soil, abundant rainfall, and ample heat. Tea-growing soils developed under tropical and subtropical monsoon forest conditions, derived mainly from weathered purple rock and sandstone, forming brick-red soil, red soil, and yellow soil types. The soils are slightly acidic, with a pH range of 4.6 to 6.5, rich in organic matter and humus, providing favorable conditions for tea cultivation.

Deep red like polished agate. The aged character has really integrated beautifully. There’s this subtle floral sweetness underneath all the earthy depth that keeps me coming back for another steep.
