This post-fermented tea from Yunnan Province blends the rich earthiness of aged Pu-erh with the smooth, woody notes of semi-fermented Oolong. Compressed into a solid block and traditionally paper-wrapped, this tea offers a mellow, full-bodied infusion with a slightly sweet finish and low astringency—ideal for those seeking a grounding and meditative brew.

Dating back to the Han Dynasty (25–220 AD), compressed Pu-erh bricks were created for long trade journeys across Asia. This historic method also naturally preserves and enhances the tea’s flavour as it ages.

Like traditional Pu-erh, this tea undergoes post-fermentation—a natural aging process where beneficial microbes gradually transform the tea’s character over time, enhancing depth and smoothness.
