This aged raw pu-erh iron cake offers a deep and evolving profile, revealing rich earthy undertones with hints of damp wood and a subtle camphor note. The liquor is thick and smooth, developing a comf. It leans earthy, woody and smooth.

Water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Rinse the leaves once with boiling water before your first real steep. It cleans off storage dust and gets the flavor going.
