Crafted in 2007 by LiuDaChaShan (Six Famous Tea Mountains), the "Jun Chang Hao" Puerh Sheng (raw) tea cake is a 357-gram homage to a storied legacy. This hard-pressed disc cake is designed to replicate the original recipe of the Jun Chang Hao brand, a name revered in tea history for over a century, preserving its authentic astringency and distinctive fragrance through meticulous craftsmanship.

Storage: Naturally aged in Guangzhou’s ideal conditions, this tea has matured gracefully, deepening its flavors and enhancing its sophistication over time.

Junchang Brand Collection Certificate
The “Junchang Brand” was established in 1922 AD in Lushi, Fengqing, a significant town along the ancient Tea Horse Road. Its founder, Mr. Luo Yingcai, was a legendary figure in Lushi. He was the first merchant in Lushi to undertake large-scale purchasing of barren hills for planting and processing tea. Under his influence, Lushi experienced a boom in tea industry development during the 1930s and 1940s, and the “Junchang Brand” earned a high reputation both domestically and internationally.
Ms. Ruan Dianrong, the founder of Yunnan Liudachashan Tea Industry Co., Ltd., is the granddaughter-in-law of Mr. Luo Yingcai. As an inheritor of the Junchang Brand, she discovered the ancestral blending techniques while researching Puerh tea. To preserve the historical legacy of Puerh tea, she has revived the traditional ancient production methods of this brand.
