【Tea Introduction】 This tea was crafted in the spring of 2001 by the famous tea expert, Mr. Ye Binghuai. He ventured deep into the Yi Wu tribute tea mountains of Yunnan to hand-select wild arbor tea leaves for this special cake. Production was very limited. This particular cake is a "Pao Bing" (泡餅, looser pressed cake), as opposed to the super-compressed "Tie Bing" (鐵餅, iron cake) version.
The cake itself is round and tightly formed, with clearly defined leaf patterns. You can see the thick, robust buds and prominent tips. After years of proper dry storage, the tea boasts a vibrant, sweet flavor, a lively character in the cup, and a lingering aftertaste. It truly showcases the unique qualities of authentic Yi Wu Zheng Shan wild tea, bursting with the youthful energy of tea grown wild. Considered one of the most outstanding teas in the modern Yi Wu Zheng Shan wild tea lineup, it's often called the "Little Yellow Mark" among enthusiasts!
