Wholesale Handmade Bai Liang Cha Cake – Yunling Gongtuan Baishaxi

This 2020 Hundred Tael Dark Tea Cake from the high-mountain tea regions of Anhua, Hunan, crafted from carefully selected spring leaves harvested from mature community tea trees. Grown in misty mountain forests near the historic tea gardens associated with Qing Dynasty tribute tea, the leaves develop slowly in a cool, humid environment nourished by forest vegetation and mountain streams. Combining the full-bodied character and lasting endurance of large-leaf tea with the refined aroma of smaller-leaf cultivars, this tea offers a distinctive balance of depth, sweetness, and aromatic elegance. Glutinous rice, honey, and subtle walnut notes emerge from the dry leaves and deepen with brewing. The liquor is smooth, thick, and rounded, with a comforting rice-soup sweetness that gradually develops into a long, lingering Hui Gan (sweet aftertaste). Mature tea stems traditionally blended into the material contribute additional sweetness, softness, and aromatic depth. With excellent infusion endurance, the tea maintains its rich body and evolving sweetness through multiple steepings, making it equally enjoyable for relaxed daily drinking or extended tea sessions. Traditional Hundred Tael craftsmanship gives this tea its distinctive structure and aging potential. Every stage is carefully carried out by hand, including bamboo weaving, tea packing, and the powerful foot-compression process used to form the traditional tea log. After compression, the tea undergoes a natural 49-day drying and fermentation cycle following the traditional “sun by day, dew by night” method, allowing gradual transformation under changing outdoor conditions. Originally formed as a long tea log, the 2020 tea has been conveniently sliced into 200g cakes for easier brewing and storage. With continued aging, its youthful edges can gradually soften while the liquor becomes deeper, rounder, and more integrated, allowing the characteristic sweetness, woody depth, and aged aromas of Anhua dark tea to evolve over time. ** About Baishaxi: Founded in 1939 in Hunan, Baishaxi 白沙溪 is a pioneering producer of Chinese dark tea and a recognized guardian of traditional tea craftsmanship.
