2011 Green Pu-erh Purple Cane

Compressed tea cake, round, mostly dark brown with some orange leavesView Full Resolution

This photo shows a compressed Pu-erh cake.

This is a sheng Pu-erh, but it has a dark appearance due to aging; it is quite young for Pu-erh, this photo being taken in 2016, but it still shows a color more similar to black teas and shou (ripened) Pu-erh than green teas.

See also the loose-leaf after being broken up, the brewed cup, and the spent leaves.
