Description
A companion to our Silver Label (white tea) and Red Label (black tea), Green Label is a pure wild-arbor assamica raw pu-ewrh tea (生普洱) pressed into convenient 7-gram mini cakes. Harvested in Autumn 2025 from the high slopes of Zhong Cang village, Wu Liang Mountains (≈2300m) and shade-dried in the traditional white-tea manner, this is the same garden we use for our 2024/2025 Wu Liang Mountain raw pu-erh.
In hand, each coin shows a handsome mosaic of olive leaf, chestnut leaf, with grey/green leaf and silvery buds. In the cup, rock-sugar sweetness up front, citrus peel and stone fruit in the mid-palate, balanced young-sheng bitterness that quickly turns sweet; with orchid, wild honey, sweet hay, and light pine resin aromatics. Expect a clean, silky and buoyant with a cooling finish and long, sweet huigan; pleasant salivation (kou gan) through 10+ infusions without harshness.
Portable, forgiving, and quietly powerful, perfect for travel brews or measured sessions.

-
Grandpa/thermos: 1 coin per 300–400 ml at 90–95 °C; top up as you sip.
-
Tip: A brief, hot flash-rinse helps the coin open evenly.
Aging Notes
Store in 50–65% RH and 70–90 °F, in an odor-free area, with minimal airflow. With time, the amber sweetness deepens, florals turn honeyed, and the texture gains breadth.
