Vintage 1999 Yichang Hao “Songti” Raw Pu-erh Tea | Aged Sheng Pu-erh with Perfect Dry Storage - 357g
A Legacy from the Golden Age of Pu-erh
The 1999 Yichang Hao “Songti” (易昌号宋体) stands among the most respected vintages of the late 1990s — a pivotal era just before the Pu-erh tea market surged into modern prominence. This tea represents an important bridge between traditional handmade artistry and the beginning of small-brand Pu-erh production.
Pressed in Menghai County, Yunnan, this cake’s distinctive Song-style Chinese calligraphy wrapper has made it a recognizable favorite among seasoned collectors. Each cake was meticulously crafted from premium large-leaf Yunnan material and has since matured gracefully through over two decades of perfect dry storage.
