A true collector’s gem, the HOP (Harvest of Paradise) Spring Tribute Pu-erh Tea Cake was exclusively commissioned by Baihu Xuan and crafted by Zou Bingliang, a legendary Pu-erh tea master. Produced by Haiwan Tea Factory, this tea was primarily intended for the Taiwan market and is one of the rarest high-mountain raw Pu-erh teas from the early 2000s. This 2001 vintage was crafted using pure spring-picked ancient tree leaves from Bulang Mountain (1,950m+ altitude), ensuring exceptional quality and aging potential. Due to trade restrictions at the time, the tea was originally exported with blank cotton paper and repackaged in Taiwan. After over 20 years of natural dry storage, this tea has developed a rich and refined character. The tightly compressed leaves have aged into a shiny, deep golden-brown hue, with no sign of mold or insect damage. Upon unwrapping, a subtle aged aroma emerges—clean, elegant, and free of any off-notes.
