This tea showcases large, vibrant leaves from ancient arbor trees, offering a rich, full-bodied mouthfeel with a gentle, uplifting "chi" and a refreshing camphor-like sensation. Its intricate, sweet aroma blends notes of apricot, rainforest, subtle woodiness, and earthy vegetative undertones. The flavor is pungent and mineral, with well-balanced astringency and a lingering huigan. About the Chang Tai Tea Factory Established in 1998 and based in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, the Changtai Tea Group is a prominent modern enterprise specializing in Pu-erh tea. It sources leaves from ancient arbor trees (300–800 years old) in regions such as Yiwu, Menghai, Bulang, and Nannuo, using traditional tea blending and stone molding techniques to craft teas reminiscent of antique Pu-erh. Their 1999 and 2000 vintages are highly sought-after collector’s items due to their rarity and exceptional quality. Changtai produces both raw (sheng) and ripe (shou) Pu-erh, with standout offerings like the 2005 Peak of the Cloud and Yi Chang Hao series.
