A Commemorative Tea Cake launched in conjunction with the Official Opening of Purple Cane's Tea X Hub This commemorative tea made from choice fresh leaves is harvested from tea plants of the large-leaf variety grown at high altitudes in the tea estates of Mengku, Lincang City of Yunnan Province. Sun-dried leaves are compressed into tea cakes of approximately 400 grams each. Compression, neither overly tight nor loose, facilitates tea aging in a natural manner. Having been stored in Purple Cane's dedicated dry Malaysian Storage for almost two decades, the tea yields a smooth infusion with a pronounced aroma and layers of delightful flavors. making it yet another coveted brew in Purple Cane's "Da Ma Cang" collection The launch coincides with the official opening of Purple Cane's Tea X Hub, located in Balakong, a township in Selangor, Malaysia. Offering a new concept and new experience, the Tea X Hub is compatible with Tea X professional tea storage + tea exchange and X Tea + community tea culture platform with the right people in the right place at the right time. The Tea X Hub will be officially opened on March 4, 2023. A limited edition, the commemorative tea known as < Jia Mu Legacy No. 1>. It is ideal for immediate consumption or as an addition to one's cherished tea collection.

The tea originated from the wild tea tree growing region of Daxueshan (the great snowy mountain) in Mengku area of Yunnan Province, China. The region has the most densely growing broad-leaf tea tree clusters at the highest altitude among the world’s known tea growing areas. The trees are characterised as wild ancient tea trees of the broad-leaf varietal.

Raw leaves were plucked in early spring from ancient tea trees several hundred years old. Harvested leaves were sun-cured, steamed and compressed into 500-gram raw tea cakes. The stout strips of tealeaves covered by fine hair give a clear golden infusion that imparts light and refreshing aroma. A flavourful and lively brew, it comes with a very pleasant aftertaste.

Ideal for extended storage, the tea ages well to develop a mellow and rich profile with layers of flavour and aroma, elevating it to a whole new level.

With Daxueshan ancient tea growing region now a nationally-designated protected area of China, it is with regret that we have stopped producing this tea after an annual release between 2012 and 2015.

The tea is accordingly named “Daxueshan” Ancient Tree Tea as part of the Yun Pin Hao range by Purple Cane.
