To many the Xi-Zhi Hao brand requires no introduction.  For the last 3 years Mr. Chen, a Taiwanese man with a passion for Pu-erh, has created some of the most highly acclaimed tea cakes on the market.  He is extremely dedicated to his work and has been known to hike the mountain trails of Xishuangbanna scouting out the best wild arbor raw material.  In this way, he guarantees that if the cake says its "Nan Nuo" or "Pa Sa" it really is!  He selects the best "mao cha" from these areas and oversees its processing from start to finish to make sure it turns out just as he needs it to be.

This cake is composed of wild arbor material taken from Pa Sa Lao Zhai (帕洒老寨) in the south part of Menghai County.  The name "Yuan Shi Lin" means Primordial Forest.  The raw material for these cakes comes from just this small area.  A single-estate wild arbor cake that was stone-pressed.  Packaging design by Mr. Chen himself.

Production area: Pa Sa Lao Zhai of Menghai county
