2010 Nan Qiao Tea Factory — Wu Yin High-Mountain Premium Ripe Pu-erh Cake ( 吾印高山特级熟茶) — 200g

From the mist-shrouded highlands of Menghai comes this exceptional ripe pu-erh from the renowned Nan Qiao Tea Factory. The Wu Yin (吾印) is a testament to the philosophy that great tea begins with great leaves — high mountains and cloud mist produce the finest tea (高山云雾出好茶).

  • Crystal-Clear Liquor: Brews a brilliantly clear, luminous amber-red liquor that speaks to the purity of its ingredients

Product Description

From the mist-shrouded highlands of Menghai comes this exceptional ripe pu-erh from the renowned Nan Qiao Tea Factory. The Wu Yin (吾印) embodies a simple truth: high mountains and cloud mist produce the finest tea (高山云雾出好茶).

Crafted from premium special-grade (特级) tender buds harvested at high altitude, each cake is dressed with fine golden tips (金毫) — a hallmark of exceptional leaf selection. When brewed, it opens into a brilliantly clear amber-red liquor that is as beautiful to look at as it is to drink.

On the palate, the Wu Yin is everything a great ripe pu-erh should be: silky, thick, and refined, with a gentle natural sweetness that lingers long after each sip. The aroma is mellow and complex, and the tea holds its character beautifully across infusion after infusion.

A tea of quiet elegance — crafted with care, aged with time, and made to be savored.
