2025 Yunnan Sourcing "Sanctuary" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake

The third “Sanctuary” release: a small-batch blend built from two separate wet piles, one from the Yi Wu area, the other from the Bu Lang area. We kept the cha tou (tea nuggets) in the mix for extra sweetness, body, and stamina. In the cup it’s smooth, fruity, chocolatey, and creamy,

Lively on the palate with a soothing finish. Each cake ships in a matching gift box featuring the full, uncropped illustration by Fionn Jordan.
