This little ripe pu erh tea cake (100g) is made from small leaves and golden buds from the Menghai tea region, offering a relatively light and subtle taste. The initial nutty, woody, and floral notes gracefully evolve into a sweet aftertaste reminiscent of dried fruits and herbal candy. It's the striking contrast between the opening taste and aftertaste that makes this ripe pu erh tea spectacular.

Who should buy this ripe pu erh tea?

Ideal for those who prefer a more understated ripe pu erh without the pronounced earthy notes, this tea cake is also perfect for anyone put off by the 'fishy' aroma often associated with ripe pu erh. Furthermore, if you usually enjoy black tea and are curious about ripe pu erh, this cake offers an excellent introduction to start your journey.

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.
