Appearance & Taste

2019 Fuhai Yiwu Good Fortune Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake 357g

Unlike other Pu’er teas that have a very strong mouthfeel, even some bitterness, the taste of Yiwu Mountain tea is very gentle, mellow, and sweet. When tasting the tea, it has an earthy, woody, and floral aroma. As it has been aged for years (six years now to be exact), it also has a very special Chen fragrance. The tea soup is pure and clear, dark wine-red to amber in colour.

Taste: Earthy, Sweet, Woody

Origin

The Yiwu tea area is one of the most famous tea plantations in Yunnan province. The altitude of Yiwu Mountain there is between 656 to 2,023 metres. The big difference in altitude leads to two typical climate characteristics for the mountain – warm and humid, and it is also foggy and rainy quite often there. The land there is fertile, containing laterite and latosolic red soil and yellow soil due to the tropical/subtropical monsoon there. The soil is faintly acid with a pH value between 4.6 and 6.5, while the nutrient accumulation and decomposition of the soil are fast. The organic matter content of the soil there is 4.6% or more, with thick soil humus which is greater than 5cm.
