Customer Reviews
Great tea! This got me an amazing tea buzz, I lost count on the number of steeps I got from this, but it was A LOT. The taste is very balanced and very hard to place. It’s not just floral, fruity or earthy but a combination of them all. I don’t think you can get sick of this and buying a full cake is a good idea.
The taste of this tea is very entertaining. It's one of those pu erhs you can't fully place in the floral, fruity or herbal aroma category. To me it sits right in between floral and fruity. I taste the floral aroma of jasmine and roses as well as tropical fruits. Lovely sweet after taste of malt and biscuits. Lots of steeps too! very satisfied!
This is currently my day-to-day tea. I drink it on workdays as the tea doesn't give me too much of a tea buzz, but the energy of the tea feels clear and helps me focus. The tea has a distinct 'Xiaguan flavor' - something I can't really name, but I taste in all the teas of the Xiaguan factory. It has a slightly roasted aroma, with a little bit of bitterness and astringency, but a smooth, warm taste after taste. I definitely taste the red and golden hues of autumn in this tea, but it does not stand out in it's aromas and is therefor a little bit overpriced for me. TEASENZ: Hello Sama, thank you for your honest review. Wu Gu Feng Deng is indeed a good daily drinker given its price for a full 357g cake. Perhaps, there will be a special offer again sometimes in the future, so you can pickup one at a better price some day. For this we recommend you to subscribe to our newsletter.
Our design work is inspired by the artwork “Along the River During the Qingming Festival” by the Zhang Zeduan in the Song Dynasty. Instead of displaying the daily lives of people in the capital of China (as the original artwork), we display the tea making process of farmers through the same bird’s eye perspective.
When examining our packaging design in detail, tea enthusiasts will observe the tea making process, featuring tea farmers picking, drying, rolling, and frying tea leaves. The tea is then tasted in a pavilion and transported by horses along the ‘ancient tea road’.
Together, the traditional Chinese landscape and tea making theme, symbolise heritage, tradition, and respect for hard work of tea farmers.
