A ripe pu erh tea cake made from a blend of premium tea leaves harvested from only wild tea gardens located at 2000m+ elevation. The dry tea cake is well compressed, easy to pry (loosen up), and shows visible golden buds.
It offers a thick, chocolate milk like texture with an incredibly satisfying aroma profile of moss, pine, brown sugar and toast. Such intense and complex flavours can only be experienced with cakes made from high mountain material in combination with excellent blending skills.

How this ripe pu erh tea is made
-
Picking
Tea leaves are hand-picked in the morning.
-
Withering
The leaves are spread on bamboo trays to wither.
-
Fixation
The withered leaves are heated to halt oxidation.
-
Rolling
Tea leaves are rolled to release their aroma.
-
Sun drying
Rolled leaves are spread on bamboo mats to sun-dry.
-
Fermentation
The leaves are post-fermented in a controlled environment.
-
Pressing
The post fermented tea is steamed & compressed.
-
Packaging
The compressed tea is wrapped in paper & packed in boxes.

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.
