This is a cake composed entirely of the “huang pian” (mature larger leaves) that were hand-plucked from the mao cha (loose leaf raw pu-erh) that composed our Spring 2019 Jinggu productions. The larger leaves were left in Jinggu for a year to sweat, and then pressed into these lovely cakes.

We’ve given this tea the name 春晓 which means “Spring Morning” because of it’s fresh but gentle character.
