Pu-erh Cakes — The Classic Format of Yunnan Tea
Pu-erh cakes (饼茶, bǐng chá) are the traditional compressed format of Yunnan tea — pressed into round discs, bricks, mushrooms, and other shapes for storage, transport, and aging. Compression slows oxidation and allows the tea to develop extraordinary complexity over years and decades.
