Bao Yan Brand Compressed Pu-erh Tea is a classic Pu-erh tea produced by the Yunnan Xiaguan Tea Factory (now Xiaguan Tuocha). It takes its name from the “Bao Yan” emblem stamped on the surface of the tea and is also known as “Mushroom Head” due to its distinctive shape. This type of compressed tea originated from the traditional border tea production tradition and was historically supplied mainly to Tibetan regions, carrying a rich cultural heritage.
Made from Yunnan large-leaf tea leaves and crafted through traditional techniques, this tea has undergone natural aging over time, allowing its character to gradually transform. After more than twenty years of maturation, the infusion remains clear and refined, with a smooth and mellow texture, revealing notes of aged wood, mature tea fragrance, and gentle sweetness. Soft on the palate with a lingering finish, it expresses the unique charm of Pu-erh tea shaped by the passage of time.
A stable and pure expression of aged Pu-erh, this tea is an excellent introduction for those beginning their journey into Pu-erh appreciation and collection.
