China Song Pin Hao Red Stamp Raw Puerh 2004

This China Song Pin Hao Red Stamp Raw Puerh 2004 tea cake has been made under the “red mark” (or “stamp”) label.
The raw material features robust, distinct leaves and when infused, it is characterised by a smoky aroma that subtly permeates the liquor. The flavour profile is exceptionally bold and assertive, quickly leaving a powerful sweet aftertaste and rapid salivation.
The chaqi (tea energy) is strong and delivers a deeply satisfying, full-body sensation.

The note accompanying the tea cake translates as:
“The Pu’er brand is a product of Zhuangzong Pinjiang, founded in the sixth year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty, and in the early Republic of China.
Zou and Lun Lizhen married, and their tea shops merged to form Qianlizhen Songpin Tea Company. Primarily producing Pu’er tea, they established a branch in Hong Kong to handle overseas sales, becoming the most famous tea shop in Wuzhen at the time. People called it ‘King Songpin’ the tradtional tea making techniques and culture preserved in Songpin Tea Company are a treasure trove of traditional Chinese culture in the world’s cultural heritage. Asa tribute to traditional culture, Hongxiang Songpin Zhiyuan Tea uses the century-old Songpin recipe, refined from Dada Tea Island, resulting in a harmonious and full-bodied taste. Its rich, sweet aftertaste is irresistible; a true treasure to cherish! It only gets better with age! Produced by Manzhuang Tea Factory, Yunnan Province, in the Autumn of 2004.”
