Menluo Yiwu “Royal Tea Garden” Pu-erh Tea Cake
The raw materials are said to be harvested from ‘Royal Tea Garden’ in Yiwu, 2100 meters above the sea level.
The background of this 400g cake can be found here http://www.puerhshop.com/blog/index.php?itemid=468#more.
The idea is to taste a good quality tea that has aged for 20 plus years today! The brewed tea is rich, aromatic and sweet, quite nice and mellow, it is very much enjoyable like a 15-20 year green/raw tea. Because of this, the tea cake is selling at Taobao, Chinese eBay at 280 RMB or roughly $ 43.
If we could duplicate this success, we got something big.

After airing and storing for a few months I’ve loved this cake. Now it’s one of my favorites.
The taste is very woody and reminds me a lot of excellent FuZhuan and good aged sheng.
Keynotes: extremely woody (with camphor hints), sweet and longest aftertaste.
It’s a very unusual pu and I don’t recommend it to beginners. But it’s a great experience for every tea drinker and you will love it or dislike it at the first sip.
