2004 雲南有機普洱茶・康樂杯優質獎 | Round Pressed Tea | 2004 Vintage
A distinguished expression of Yunnan's tea heritage, the 2004 Yunnan Organic Pu’er — Hong Lok Cup Quality Award Winner brings together traditional Pu’er craftsmanship, the emergence of organic tea production, and the growing international recognition of Chinese tea culture.
Its original wrapper prominently features the historic OFDC organic certification emblem alongside references to the First International Pu’er Tea Symposium, reflecting an era when Yunnan's centuries-old tea traditions were gaining renewed attention beyond China.
The wrapper also bears the distinction 「康樂杯優質獎」 (Hong Lok Cup Quality Award), identifying the tea as an award recipient and adding another dimension to its historical presentation. This recognition distinguishes the pressing within the broader landscape of early twenty-first-century Pu’er tea.
Preserved within our family's tea collection and recorded as a 2004 vintage, this tea represents a connection between traditional craftsmanship, historical recognition, and the evolving appreciation of aged Pu’er.
Yunnan Province, China | Kunming Tea-Making Heritage
Yunnan Province is the historical heartland of Pu’er tea, renowned for its mountainous landscapes, diverse tea-growing environments, and centuries of cultivation, processing, and trade.
Kunming, the provincial capital, has historically served as a centre for tea manufacturing, distribution, and commercial exchange, connecting Yunnan's tea-producing regions with markets throughout China and overseas.
The original wrapper identifies a producer associated with Kunming's Xishan District, although its precise manufacturing history and relationship to the historic state-operated Kunming Tea Factory remain unverified.
This pressing also reflects an important period in the development of China's modern tea industry, when organic production standards and international tea exhibitions began receiving greater attention. Its historical OFDC emblem and Hong Lok Cup Quality Award inscription provide distinctive evidence of how the tea was presented and recognized within the market of its time.
The precise growing region of the leaves remains unverified.
Aroma: Aged Wood · Dried Herbs · Subtle Earthiness
Taste: Mellow Sweetness · Dried Fruit · Gentle Herbal Notes · Soft Woody Undertones
Body: Medium · Rounded · Smooth

Flavour notes represent anticipated characteristics of aged Pu’er based on its reported vintage and ageing potential. As the tea's raw or ripe classification has not yet been verified, these notes are provisional. Actual flavour may vary depending on processing, storage conditions, and brewing methods.
