Cha Zhi Ji – Qi Sheng Gu Raw Pu-erh Tea (2012 Wild Ancient Trees)

Qi Sheng Gu Raw Pu-erh (2012) – Dense, Woody & Comforting

Hand-picked early-spring buds from wild ancient tea trees are stone-pressed under Cha Zhi Ji’s Cha Yu Hao label. Grown at high altitude with ample rainfall, the leaves accumulate rich nutrients, yielding tea with thick body and pure aroma.

Key Features

• Matured to Drinking Peak: After more than a decade of natural aging, the liquor is thick, silky and immediately sweet with fast returning hui gan.
• Woody & Honeyed Aroma: Pronounced wood scent entwined with deep, clean sweetness and mellow cha qi.
• Full-Bodied Soup: Heavy, viscous mouthfeel; bitterness and astringency quickly transform into lingering sweetness.
• Wild Origin: No pruning, fertilizers or pesticides; limited production from tall, old trees ensures true “wild tea” character.

Brew 5–7 g in a gaiwan or Yixing teapot with 100 °C water. Enjoy its comforting depth now or keep cellaring for even richer complexity.
