This raw pu erh tea brick is made from a curated blend of tea leaves from Bangdong in the Lincang tea region. It commemorates the 40-year career of Teacher Yahe Xu, a respected expert in the tea industry and a published author. 

This premium tea offers a rich flavor profile with floral orchid notes and a honey-like aroma. Its aftertaste is lingering, and the liquor is bright and clear. It's a tea to treasure.

The leaves used in this blend were harvested from the villages of Shijie, Xigui, and Zhenshi in Bangdong. This area in Lincang tea region is recognized for its sandy, rocky soil, high elevations, and frequent fog. These environmental conditions shape the character of the tea, setting it apart from standard ancient tree teas.
