This tea cake was created to commemorate the "International Pu-erh Tea Expo" in Kunming in 2002. The event took place at the Kunming Wholesale Tea market and coincided with the opening of a new (second) section of the wholesale market. The tea cake is composed of blended raw material from Lincang, Simao and Menghai sun-dried tea leaves. Compression level is medium and the tea is still pungent and intense as it was dry aged in Kunming since its inception. A nice semi-aged tea with powerful cha qi countered with a developing aged mellowness. Tea weight: 357 grams
