Yi Ban Xin Xiang loosely translates to “the fragrance of a petal’s heart,” and this tea has the familiar Chinese date or jujube character found in many shu puers with a delicate, lingering floral character. The tea has a vibrant orange liquor with a soft, lingering sweetness.

This shu puer cake was made from sun-dried tea leaves from the Lincang region of Yunnan Province. After the fresh tea leaves are withered, they are pan-fried and rolled into strips. The rolled leaves are sun-dried before continuing on with the shu puer ripening process. Using larger-sized leaves to make this tea gives it its jujube-like fragrance and distinct floral character.
