Sourced from ancient-arbor trees growing deep within Ba Da Mountain’s (八大山古树) pristine forests, this ripe pu-erh tea benefits from thick, resilient leaves ideal for high-quality fermentation. Ba Da teas are known for their distinctive cocoa-earthy sweetness, smooth body, and naturally warming character. Clean soil, untouched forests, and old-tree root systems give this tea exceptional clarity and depth.Compared to Menghai-style shou, Ba Da ripe pu-erh teas offer a clearer liquor, softer sweetness, and more pronounced cocoa notes — a unique and sought-after profile.

Fuzhi 馥之 stands out for its cocoa-sweet aroma and ancient-tree depth, a rare combination in modern ripe Pu-erh tea. The 2023 fermentation is exceptionally clean, preserving sweetness while developing richness and warmth. Each mini cake provides a premium shou experience with no heaviness, no muddy notes — only pure, creamy, comforting ripe pu-erh tea character.

As the mini cake opens, its aroma deepens, releasing cocoa, grain, and warm earthiness. The liquor becomes thicker and more velvety with each infusion, offering grounding comfort and clean sweetness.
