The Yiwu mountains in Southern China are renowned for the fragrant, smooth and floral pu’er teas they produce. One of the most highly sought after terroirs in the tea world, this single-origin ancient tree (gushu) tea cake comes from Gaoshanzhai, literally “high mountain village”. Lying at around 4000ft of elevation, it is famous for producing especially delicate, soft, and aromatic pu’er tea. At only one year of age, this tea bursts with the flavor and aromatics of fresh white flowers and meadow grasses. It is smooth and viscous as gushu pu’er should be, with a lively and coating mouthfeel. Though this tea should age beautifully, it is also more than ready to drink now for those who enjoy their sheng on the greener side. Because of the terroir and quality of the material, there is barely any bitterness. It is a very fine example of young Yiwu tea.
