Brillant Success Pu-erh cake is the product of an unprecedented collaboration between Tea Master Vesper Chan and the historic Xiaguan Tea Factory, which was established in 1941. During its early days, Xiaguan Tea Factory primarily supplied compressed Tuo Cha (birds nest-shaped Pu-erh) and heart-shaped Pu-erh tea to Tibet. In 1975, it was first to export Pu-erh tea to France and subsequently Japan. 

The tea is made with selected leaves from large arbor trees from two major tea regions and the leaves were fermented by skilled tea masters who adhere to traditional fermentation techniques with advanced utilities equipped by the state-of-the-art Xiaguan Tea Factory located on the foothills of the pristine Cangshan Mountain in Dali, in Northwest Yunnan. The resulting product is a ripe tea that is thick, bright, and smooth with a hint of burnt sugar. A luxurious ripe Pu-erh.

A raw version of this tea cake is also available for purchase here.

Excellent

By Laura Commers
After reading the description of this new tea I knew I wanted to try it. It did not disappoint. Even though it is a 2021 ripe puerh the flavor is incredible. I tried it with a friend and we both loved it. I immediately ordered 3 more cakes and plan to order more in a week. This great at this young of an age I can't imagine how magnificent it will be in a few years.

I can expect this tea to be more delicious and smooth in a few years.
