Made by Dayi
This 2012 Dayi pu-erh is a compressed Yunnan tea cake that has been aging for more than a decade, its flavors softening and deepening over time. Dayi is one of the most recognized names in modern pu-erh, and this cake reflects that heritage: earthy, steady and made for slow, repeated sessions.
This 2012 Dayi pu-erh is a compressed Yunnan tea cake that has been aging for more than a decade, its flavors softening and deepening over time. Dayi is one of the most recognized names in modern pu-erh, and this cake reflects that heritage: earthy, steady and made for slow, repeated sessions.
Break off a piece and expect layered notes of earth, wood, a hint of dried fruit or leather, and a smooth, slightly sweet finish that grows over multiple infusions. A session can stretch through several brews in a gaiwan or small teapot, revealing new facets as the leaves open. The traditional round cake is ready to drink now or to keep storing if you enjoy following a tea's evolution.
