Stone pressed cake! The Youle mountain is one of Six Famous Tea Mountains in Xishuangbanna. The maocha comes from traditional old place and has been traditionally and primitively processed by the Jinuo minority. The material for this cake is selected from hundreds years old tea trees in Youle. The liquor is aromatic with golden-orange color. The taste is powerful, fruity, with very quick huigan at the beginning, then it changes to honey-sweet but still full in mouth. The tea was stored in Xishuanbanna for the first year, it was later moved to drier Kunming. After 7 years of aging, the tea is very enjoyable and still with good future!

This is a great tea. However, it was bought in limited quantity and it is difficult to obtain exactly the same cakes (stored in the same way). Nevertheless, it shows that Jinuoshan factory is very potent and You Le 2004 is often great (be especially careful with autumn harvests though).
