Round Pressed Tea · Raw Pu’er · Yunnan, China · 2005
A distinguished example of Yunnan's traditional pressed tea heritage, this 2005 Zhongcha Zhengshan Daye Red Mark Raw Pu’er embodies the character and complexity developed through over two decades of ageing.
Presented in its original Red Mark (紅印) packaging, this tea reflects the historic Zhongcha (中茶牌) tradition and the use of Yunnan's renowned large-leaf tea material. As raw Pu’er matures, its youthful intensity gradually softens, allowing deeper aromas, rounded textures, and subtle sweetness to emerge.
Preserved within our family's tea collection, this vintage pressed tea offers both an exploration of aged Pu’er and a connection to the enduring traditions of Chinese tea craftsmanship.
