2026 Yibang Sheng Pu'er, Ancient Trees Stone-pressed cake

A fine Shengpu from the centuries-old tea trees (gushu) of Yibang mountain, harvested in Spring 2025. Clear and pure in the taste, an elegant Shengpu that stands as a symbol of a timeless research for the purest taste in Pu'er tea.

Yibang Mountain (倚邦山) is the tallest of the Six Ancient Tea Mountains (古六大茶山). It is celebrated for producing top-tier Pu'er tea and it's historically renowned as the primary source of imperial tribute tea during the Qing Dynasty. Here tea trees have been grown and cared since Qing dynasty by various ethnic minorities people, such as Dai, Bulang, Wa, Hani, Yi, and Jinuo. In Dai language, Yibang is called "Mo La", which means "a place with tea trees and wells", as a testimony of the profound link between this land and tea. 

Tasting this Yibang Shengpu feels like tasting a deeply valuable treasure. The first brew brings a refreshing brightness with very light bitterness or astringent, that quickly becomes sweetness. Elegant and clear, the fragrance reveals wild floral notes and a slight honey flavor. 
The unique aroma of Yibang Pu'er tea is given by a synergy of the terroir, the age and the small-leaf variety of the trees.
