Pu'er tea has been a staple in Chinese tea culture for centuries, originating in Yunnan province. Traditionally, the tea was pressed into large cakes, making it easier to store and transport along ancient trade routes like the Tea Horse Road. These larger cakes became known for their ability to age, allowing the tea to develop richer, deeper flavors over time.
Our Mini Pu'er Tea Cakes capture the essence of this tradition, offering the same robust flavor in a smaller, more convenient form. Each mini cake reflects centuries of craftsmanship, preserving the authentic taste of Pu'er while adapting to modern lifestyles. For those who find themselves drawn to the deeper story and ritual behind Pu'er tea, the larger, full-sized cakes in our WEI Collection await, offering an even more immersive experience.
Harvesting: The first step in making Pu'er tea involves hand-picking tea leaves to ensure freshness and minimize damage. The best leaves are selected, typically with one bud and two or three leaves.
Withering: Freshly picked leaves are spread out to lose some moisture, allowing aromas to develop. This process also prepares the leaves for fermentation.
Pan-firing: The leaves are heated in large pans to stop oxidation. The high heat removes grassy flavors and locks in the tea’s natural enzymes, giving Pu'er its distinctive taste.
Rolling & Drying: The leaves are rolled to break down cell walls, enhancing flavor release. Afterward, they are sun-dried, which is key to preserving the tea’s unique qualities.
Steaming & Pressing: The dried leaves are steamed and then pressed into shape, creating the signature cakes. This traditional method ensures the tea can age gracefully over time.
Final Drying: The cakes are dried one last time to reach a moisture level suitable for safe storage, completing the transformation into Mini Pu'er Tea Cakes.
