2024 Oripuerlab Bingdao 715 Ripe Pu Erh Tea Cake 200g
This Oripuerlab's Bingdao 715 tea cake has won Gold Medal at the 14th International Dingcheng Tea King Spring Competition (国际鼎承茶王赛春季赛金奖) in 2024.
This award-winning ripe pu-erh is crafted from premium tea leaves harvested from ancient trees in the Bingdao (Lincang), Yunnan Province. The 715 cake reflects Oripuerlab’s mastery in processing, offering a smooth and layered experience that evolves with each steep.
Its flavor is mellow and sweet, with a distinct fruity aroma that brings to mind ripe strawberries, pineapple juice, tart, and a wild forest finish. As the steeping progresses, the aroma turns earthier, while a lingering sweetness continues to envelop your mouth. The texture is thick and satisfying, making every sip a pleasure.
This tea offers excellent endurance, lasting for over 12 steeps with ease when prepared the traditional way.

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.
