Round Pressed Tea · Raw Pu’er · Yiwu, Yunnan · 2005
Produced in 2005, this Yiwu Raw Pu’er has been preserved for more than two decades, allowing the character of the tea to mature and evolve naturally over time.
Presented in the traditional round pressed tea format, it reflects a period when Yiwu teas had already become highly sought after among Pu’er drinkers and collectors. With age, the youthful intensity of raw Pu’er gradually gives way to a more integrated and rounded character, while retaining the sweetness and lingering finish for which Yiwu teas are appreciated.
Beyond the drinking experience, its 2005 vintage, Yiwu designation, Zhongcha branding, age and preserved family provenance give this tea additional interest as an archival and collectible piece.
Yiwu, Yunnan, China
Yiwu is a historic tea-producing region in Xishuangbanna, southern Yunnan, and forms part of the celebrated Ancient Six Tea Mountains.
For generations, Yiwu has played an important role in the production and trade of Pu’er tea. Its teas became particularly recognized for their aromatic character, gentle structure and natural sweetness, characteristics that can develop greater depth and complexity through long-term ageing.
The region's long association with Pu’er production makes Yiwu an important name both historically and among modern collectors of aged tea.
After more than 20 years of ageing, this raw Pu’er is expected to offer a mature and increasingly integrated expression of Yiwu tea.
Aroma: Aged wood · dried fruit · subtle florals
Taste: Mellow sweetness · dried fruit · gentle woody depth
Texture: Smooth · rounded · layered
Finish: Lingering sweetness · gentle hui gan · evolving aftertaste
The ageing process softens the sharper, more astringent character associated with young raw Pu’er, allowing deeper and more rounded flavours to emerge while preserving the underlying sweetness associated with Yiwu.
Individual tasting characteristics may vary according to storage, brewing method and the natural evolution of each round pressed tea.
