The material used for this cake comes from ancient tea gardens that grow near the famous and protected mountain. The top of Da Xue Shan is a protected national forest on which wild tea varietals grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYongde, located in Lincang prefecture, is one of the Northernmost Pu-erh tea producing area in Yunnan. High latitude and altitude give the tea gardens very cold temperatures. This factor limits the expansion of the tea gardens at higher altitude because Camellia Sinensis var Assamica is quite sensitive to frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea was stored wrapped in plastic sheets in order to restrict the air flow, this aging method, advocated by Mr Yang, is quite unusual and aims at keeping the original fragrance of tea while allowing the tea to oxidize.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tea has a balanced mouthfeel, with some light bitterness and astringency. This tea makes you sweat after a few cups and the throat feels fresh. This tea has a very decent fragrance, which is typical for teas from that area, added to the special storage conditions and years of maturity, the result is very pleasant to the nose. Yet, the main point of this tea is the strong Cha Qi, fragrance becomes a minor detail once your body is under the influence of such a tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yang Zhong Yue","offers":[{"title":"20g sample (0.7oz)","offer_id":41887712212,"sku":"13年 春 大雪山 20克","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"357g cake (12.6oz)","offer_id":41887712276,"sku":"13年 春 大雪山 357克","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/products\/daxue_shan_1.jpg?v=1495723615"},{"product_id":"yongde-ripe-pu-erh","title":"Yongde Ripe Pu-erh","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2019 Yongde old gardens material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFermented in late 2019 in Lincang, medium-heavy fermentation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStraightforward, strong, focused on mouthfeel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewed in a mug or gongfu style, a perfect everyday ripe pu-erh\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYongde is often overlooked because it is located in the far North East of the Pu-erh tea producing areas.

It is among the strongest ones we've come across, both in terms of mouthfeel and endurance. It is straightforward and throws everything it's got at you through ten brews. Great for warming the body on a cold day, or to stay focused while working, the brewing is very forgiving, you could brew it gongfu style as well as in a mug. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/yongde_5_1024x1024.jpg?v=1597565143\" alt=\"a cup of ripe puerh\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Farmerleaf","offers":[{"title":"357g cake","offer_id":32149973794881,"sku":"永德熟茶 357克","price":38.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"20g sample","offer_id":32149973827649,"sku":"永德熟茶 20克","price":4.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/products\/yongde1.jpg?v=1597565253"}],"url":"https:\/\/farmerleaf.com\/collections\/map-yongde.oembed","provider":"Farmerleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
