Located among the historic Six Famous Tea Mountains, Yiwu (易武古树) is celebrated for its sweet, elegant teas and forest-grown ancient trees. Unlike strong Bulang or cocoa-rich Ba Da styles, Yiwu ripe Pu-erh tea is known for:
- Soft sweetness
- Gentle earthiness
- Rice-like fragrance
- Smooth, low-bitterness body
- Calming and soothing Cha Qi
This ripe pu-erh tea reflects the peaceful, humid forests of Yiwu — where thin tea leaves absorb floral, woody, and grain-like aromas from the wild environment. The result is a uniquely refined shou pu-erh with soothing sweetness and forest clarity.
Runye 润野 is special because:
- Yiwu-style ripe Pu-erh is rare and highly valued
- Forest and rice aroma is naturally occurring, not added
- 2023 fermentation is exceptionally clean
- The 357 g full cake format is ideal for aging
- It offers gentle sweetness instead of bitterness or heaviness
- Perfect for both beginners and connoisseurs
This tea embodies the soft side of ripe pu-erh tea, making it an ideal daily comfort drink.
As the tea opens, the liquor transitions from bright ruby red to a deeper mahogany shade. Early steeps highlight aged-forest aroma and rice fragrance; later infusions become smoother, sweeter, and more rounded, leaving a clean and comforting finish.
