This is a 200-gram cake from Cha Qi, a blend from three Yun De villages. The raw materials were harvested in spring 2022 and pressed in Kunming in April 2023. Interestingly, the raw materials were originally chosen for sheng, but our technologist decided to go big, bought the entire batch, and crafted it into shu for Cha Qi. "Lucidity" has lots of buds, and the cake itself easily comes apart with a tea knife or even by hand.
The flavor profile includes walnut, caramel, dark chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, prunes, and woody-smoky notes. No overpowering puerh taste! The aftertaste has spicy and creamy motifs. Brews densely without any issues. It’s enough 8 grams for two person.
It noticeably energizes, lifts the mood, and fills you with strength to tackle the routine. No jitters or feeling unwell, just a boost and enjoyment. A true rural shu—factories are getting farther, farmers are getting closer!
