Produced in 2004 in the core Yiwu region, Xishuangbanna

This vintage represents a critical watershed period when state-owned enterprises transitioned toward marketization, encompassing high-quality early spring tea resources from core villages such as Mahei and Luoshuidong.

Selected early spring one-bud with two or three leaves, pressed using traditional stone molds

**Adheres to low-temperature fixation and gentle rolling techniques. Stone mold pressing leaves "breathing space" within the tea disc. After 22 years of aging, the internal substances have achieved a highly harmonious balance.

Creamy and thick soup feel with prominent caramel sweet notes

**Bitterness and astringency have completely subsided, transforming into profound aged and woody aromas that showcase the "softening strength into gentleness" quality aesthetics of dry-stored aged Sheng Puerh.
