Yiwu 2015 Sheng

Yì Wǔ · 易武

puerh-sheng · bing · ancient-tree

Yiwu is the historical heart of pu-erh production — the "imperial tea horse road" passed through here. Yiwu sheng is recognised for its gentler, floral character, distinct from the punchier Bulang/Menghai profile, and ages into honey-and-camphor depth over decades.
