Youle Ancient-Tree Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake – 357g 攸乐古树生茶
A 357g pure-material raw Pu-erh tea cake from Youle, one of Yunnan’s historic Ancient Six Tea Mountains. Made in the traditional sheng puer style, this ancient-tree tea is built around a clear floral-honey aroma, a softer tea liquor and a balanced relationship between bitterness, astringency and returning sweetness.
The leaf material is visibly intact and substantial, producing a bright golden liquor and a lifted aromatic profile. Its combination of floral fragrance, honeyed sweetness and structured raw-Pu-erh character makes it suitable for focused gongfu tasting as well as a premium tea gift.

Flavour & Aroma
Youle raw Pu-erh is characterised here by a prominent floral-honey fragrance and a relatively gentle liquor. The aroma remains clear through the infused leaves, while bitterness and astringency stay coordinated rather than dominating the cup. Expect a clean, lively finish with returning sweetness and an elegant high-aroma profile.
How to Brew
Gongfu style: Break off 7–8g and place it in a 120–150ml gaiwan or small teapot. Use 90–95°C water. A very quick 3–5 second rinse is optional. Begin with an 8–12 second infusion and extend later steeps gradually.
Everyday teapot: Use about 5g per 300ml of 90–95°C water. Steep for 60–90 seconds for the first cup, then adjust according to taste.
How to Taste It
Start with lighter infusions to capture the floral and honeyed top notes before increasing steep times. Pay attention to the change from fragrance to sweetness and to the balance of mild bitterness, astringency and returning sweetness across later infusions.
Food Pairing
Pair with fresh fruit, lightly sweet pastries, almond biscuits, steamed dim sum, mild cheeses or delicate savoury snacks. Avoid strongly spiced foods during a focused tasting session because they can overpower the floral-honey aroma.
Tea-Room Styling & Display
The colourful mountain-inspired wrapper makes the cake an attractive focal point on a tea shelf. Display one wrapped cake upright on a walnut, stone or dark lacquer stand beside a porcelain gaiwan, celadon cup or glass fairness pitcher.
For Western, Japandi and new-Chinese interiors, the blue-green mountain artwork works especially well with pale oak, walnut, natural linen, black accents and handmade ceramics. Keep any displayed tea away from direct sunlight, steam and fragrance sources.
Gift Ideas
This cake is particularly suitable for raw-Pu-erh drinkers, collectors of famous-mountain teas, Chinese tea enthusiasts and anyone who enjoys floral, aromatic sheng puer. Pair it with a white porcelain gaiwan so the liquor colour and aroma can be appreciated clearly.
Storage
Store in a dry, ventilated and odour-free place away from direct sunlight, humidity, perfume, incense, smoke, spices and household chemicals. Compressed raw Pu-erh should be kept in a stable environment with good air quality.
