Crafted with selected Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried maocha, carefully aged for 20 years in the storied highland warehouses of Dali, this cake represents the mastery of Xiaguan’s traditional iron pressing technique.
Appearance
The cake is well-formed, round and neat, with a moderately tight compression. The tea leaves present a dark, glossy sheen.
Liquor
Bright orange-yellow in color, clear and vivid in the cup.
Aroma
A prominent, uplifting smokiness interwoven with lingering honey-like sweetness, creating a layered and captivating fragrance.
Taste
Full-bodied and mellow, rich yet well-balanced on the palate. The sweetness unfolds with each sip, delivering a lasting hui gan (returning sweetness) and mouthwatering sheng jin (salivation).
