Carefully selected from the renowned Yiwu tea area in Xishuangbanna, this premium 2026 XiaGuan dragon ball is crafted from high-quality big tree (da shu) maocha and naturally aged for 14 years in the cool, high-altitude Dali plateau warehouse.
The 160g tuocha presents a deep, glossy blackish-brown color with a round, neat, and evenly compressed form that offers just the right degree of tightness for controlled brewing.
When steeped, the liquor pours a bright, clear orange-yellow with exceptional clarity. The aroma is richly uplifting, dominated by a pronounced honeyed malt sugar fragrance layered with mature aged notes.
In the mouth, the tea delivers a smooth, sweet-mellow character with outstanding returning sweetness and pronounced saliva-generating huigan. The mouthfeel is full-bodied yet harmonious and richly coordinated, showing excellent lingering depth and retention across multiple infusions.
A refined expression of aged Yiwu puerh, this "Mi Chen Yi Wu" dragon ball beautifully showcases the classic transformation of big-tree material under traditional highland storage — elegant, sweet, and profoundly satisfying.
