2023 Yiwu Long Yin Legacy Stamp Sheng Pu’er

Crafted as a revival of the historic 1950s "Dragon Seal" (龙印) cakes, this 2023 Long Yin Legacy Edition pays tribute to the original Red Label classics prized by collectors and connoisseurs. Stone-pressed using traditional methods, it features carefully selected ancient tree material from Yiwu's legendary tea forests—an area revered for its soft, complex, and age-worthy teas. The wrapper artwork evokes deep nostalgia and cultural pride, while the cake itself is a compelling candidate for long-term aging or immediate enjoyment.

Gong Fu Style:
• Leaf: 6–7 grams
• Water: 100°C (boiling)
• Rinse once quickly, then steep 5–10 seconds to start
• Increase steeping time slightly with each infusion

Tips: Use soft water and a gaiwan or clay teapot. This tea rewards patient brewing and brings out layered complexity around the 4th–6th steep.

With proper storage—cool, dry, with good airflow—this tea will continue to deepen in body and complexity. Over the next 5–10 years, expect increased sweetness, medicinal wood notes, and smoothness. Avoid sealed plastic or high humidity storage.

Yiwu, once a tribute tea region to emperors, remains one of Pu’er’s most esteemed origins. Teas from this area are known for their softness, floral elegance, and huigan (returning sweetness). The producer, 国普繁明农场, brings decades of heritage in small-batch, quality-first production aligned with traditional values and historical recipes.
