It is pressed as a 357 g cake and offered here as a 50 g portion broken from the cake, an easy way to try it without buying the whole cake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt is made from sun-dried (shai qing) Yunnan large-leaf maocha from Bulang Mountain in Menghai and the old tea-growing areas of Gengma in Lincang, the same regions as our Zhenwei ripe cake. The cake itself makes a strong first impression: beautiful leaf material and neat, even compression. Expect the typical character of a younger sheng: a bright golden liquor, a fresh floral-honey profile, some bitterness that turns into sweetness, and a cooling finish in the throat. The early sharpness eases over the first few infusions and the cup becomes rounder as the session goes on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIt brews best gongfu style with short steeps, giving many rounds from a single portion, but it also works in a Western pot with a lighter leaf ratio. As with any raw pu-erh, a 50 g portion is a good way to get to know the tea now and follow how it changes with time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheng (raw) pu-erh\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloral, honey, bitterness turning to sweetness, cooling finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharacter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFresh, structured, lively\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMorning, daytime, focused sessions\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePreparation\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGongfu cha, Western style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHualinchun (华林春)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYear\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2020\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaw material\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun-dried Yunnan large-leaf maocha from Bulang Mountain (Menghai) and Gengma (Lincang)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAging potential\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSuitable for further ageing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMenghai, Xishuangbanna and Gengma, Lincang, Yunnan, China\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLoose portion broken from the 357 g cake\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Hualinchun","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":64955273118073,"sku":"HLC-Sheng-02","price":9.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0981\/3616\/2681\/files\/hualinchun-zhenyan-2026-portion-main.png?v=1792606110","url":"https:\/\/teacha.store\/en\/products\/hualinchun-zhenyan-sheng-pu-erh-2020-50g","provider":"TeaCha","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
