Long Live 2025 Spring Yiwu Raw Puer

Price range: $6.00 through $220.00

Description

Juicy sweet and pleasantly fragrant, this tea delivers classic Yiwu character at both a high quality level and accessible price.

The use of mixed picking (mostly old tree with some arbour) material from Yiwu Laojie (old town) supports a thick body and lasting aroma.

This tea serves as an excellent bridge between budget offerings from the region and the more prohibitively expensive special occasion teas. Both experienced drinkers and those newer to puer will find this equally enjoyable as either a daily drinker or one for cracking open down the road.

$0.25/gram
Region: Yiwu, Xishuangbanna Prefecture
Picking Period: March 24-28, 2025

Many of our samples for spring 2025 are in dragon ball form. While these balls will perform the same as the cake, they can be slightly trickier to brew. Here’s how we do it:

    Young Yiwu is not usually my cup of tea (pun intended) but this is exactly what I’m looking for. Strong floral aromatics, moderate sweetness, overripe fruit, creamy mouthfeel, long floral/fruity sweet finish. I was 3 steeps into my first sample and came back to buy a cake.

    Soft, sweet, smooth, and enduring. Calming qi. Really everything I could hope for in a Yiwu tea at a great price.

    Similar to last year in my opinion. Its very gentle, delicate and easy to like but doesn’t last very long. It has a very calming qi but still felt a lot of energy. Idk why but i will say this might be a good option for writing/reading.

    Funny moment with this fruity and tart saliva. Sweet cream with a post-grapefruit effect – so refreshing!
    // Smell: Shortcrust dough, sweet buttery shortbread, light floral notes, hay, fruity caramel coulis for ice cream
    // Texture: Warm spot on the tip of the tongue and bottom lip, heaviness on the teeth, thick texture
    // Taste: Gentle sweetness, slightly herbaceous, spicy hay, bamboo steamer, creamy celery soup
    // Body sensation: Cool palate, ultra-thick saliva, gentle body warmth

    Delicate floral and fruit notes, complemented by a soft, velvety texture. Notes of hay, supported by light minerality and astringency when pushed. Steady yet energetic. If you enjoy Yiwu shengs, this would be the tea for you.

    Lovely Yiwu sheng! A little elusive, and hard to draw out, but I’d love to see how it develops.
