Yulin Ancient Tea 2016 Yan Chen Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake (357g/12.6oz)

Unlock the Flavor of the Rocks: 2016 Rainforest "Yan Chen" Ancient Tree Raw Pu-erh Discover the resilience of nature in every cup of Yan Chen (Rock Aged). This exceptional Raw Pu-erh tea by Rainforest Ancient Tea House (Rainforest Gu Cha Fang) tells the story of ancient tea trees growing in the most unforgiving environments—directly within the crevices of mountain rocks. The Power of Roots As the saying goes, "As high as the tree stands, so deep do the roots reach." Half of this tea tree's life exists underground, unseen. To survive in the rocky terrain, these century-old trees have developed powerful root systems that penetrate deep into the earth, drawing up rich minerals and trace elements that ordinary tea trees cannot reach. Tasting Notes Aroma: Intense and penetrating floral fragrance that fills the cup. Texture: The soup is soft, oily, and coats the mouth effectively. Taste: A unique "Wild" character. It begins with a distinct, pleasant bitterness that melts away almost immediately, replaced by a profound, rock-sugar sweetness that lasts. The "Yan" (Rock) character gives the tea a heavy, substantial mouthfeel. Aftertaste: Persistent and cooling, with a sweetness that stays with you. Why Choose Yan Chen? Year: 2016 Production (using 3-year aged material for extra smoothness). Origin: Yunnan, China (High Mountain Rock Area). Grade: Premium Ancient Tree (Gushu). Weight: Standard 357g (Approx. 12.6 oz) Cake. Brewing Suggestion: We recommend using a Gaiwan or Yixing Clay Teapot. Rinse the tea once with boiling water. For the first few brews, steep for 5-10 seconds. Increase steeping time for subsequent brews to extract the full mineral essence of the leaves. Experience the vitality of the rainforest and the strength of the rocks in this exquisite tea.
