This is an Yi Wu area pressing done by CNNP (or perhaps a farmer pressed CNNP?). Spring 2004 material was pressed using stone presses and then aged in Jinghong for 16 years before arriving in Kunming (in 2020). Like any good Yi Wu tea, this has aged wonderfully and is incredibly sweet and a very well-rounded tea with plenty of body, good viscosity and warm, pleasant cha qi! 357 Grams per cake (no date printed on the wrapper)
