Once a nexus for pu’er distribution and more recently a locus of exchange for Taiwanese and Chinese pu’er producers, this tea celebrates the true and legendary impact of the city—and greater region—of Yiwu. A blend of material from Lincang and Xishuangbanna by the himself somewhat legendary Shi Kunmu, the tea soup is dulcet, starchy and viscous with astoundingly gentle notes of dry wood, quince, and orange peel, and the mouth-coating creaminess of buttermilk. More than 15 years of ageing has made what must have been an already mellow tea even mellower while preserving the lighter notes characteristic of a younger sheng. Consume while reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, The Dream of the Red Chamber, or any epic poetry.

In preparation for the arrival of my 2025 stash of greens and oolongs, I did some spring cleaning of my old tea samples and came across a few samples I had seemingly tried but not rated on Steepster. Whoops!
This one is certainly one I remember and tried awhile ago, and I recall enjoying it at that time as well. There is maybe a touch of sweetness. No bitterness or astringency. Very woodsy flavor in a warm and calming kind of way. Definitely not worth $0.85/g, but a pleasant drinker for sure.
Origin: Baoshan, Lincang and Xishuangbanna in Yunnan, China
Flavors: Orange Zest, Wood
