Pan Xi Chuan Cheng No.1 | Chen Pi Aged White Tea Mini Cake — 2016 Aged Tangerine Peel + 2018 Lao Shou Mei, One Cake Per Brew, Rich & Smooth

Two years apart. Pressed together. Better for it.

Pan Xi Chuan Cheng No.1 (磻水传承壹号) is a Chen Pi White Tea Mini Cake (陈皮白茶小饼) — a pressed pairing of 2016 aged tangerine peel (Chen Pi, 陈皮) and 2018 Lao Shou Mei (老寿眉) white tea. Each ingredient brings something the other does not: the Chen Pi contributes citrus warmth, a clean aromatic complexity, and the digestive comfort associated with aged tangerine peel; the Lao Shou Mei brings the mellow sweetness and depth of a well-aged white tea, with the gentle earthiness and body that only comes after years of storage.

Pressed into small individual cakes of approximately 7g each, this is a tea designed for real life: one cake, one brew, no measuring, no fuss. Each cake comes individually wrapped, ready to slip into a pocket, bag, or desk drawer.

About the Pairing

Chen Pi white tea (陈皮白茶) is a traditional pairing from Guangdong, where aged tangerine peel — itself a prized ingredient in Chinese wellness culture — is combined with aged white tea to create a liquor that is warmer, richer, and more complex than either ingredient alone. The 2016 Chen Pi has had a decade of aging; the 2018 Lao Shou Mei has settled into smooth, gentle maturity. Together they form a natural match.

Product Description

Pan Xi Chuan Cheng No.1 (磻水传承壹号) is a Chen Pi white tea pressed mini cake combining 2016 aged tangerine peel and 2018 Lao Shou Mei white tea from Pan Xi (磻水), Fujian.

The 2016 Chen Pi has completed a decade of aging — its initial sharpness long since mellowed into a warm, clean citrus complexity with the characteristic sweetness of properly stored aged tangerine peel. The 2018 Lao Shou Mei is a mature, well-rested white tea with mellow sweetness, a gently earthy body, and the smooth, settled character that aged Shou Mei develops over time.

Pressed together into small individual cakes of approximately 7g, the two ingredients combine in the cup to produce a liquor that is rich, smooth, and distinctly its own — warmer than white tea alone, more refined than Chen Pi alone. Each cake is individually wrapped for portability and freshness, making this an ideal daily tea for people who want quality without inconvenience.
