118 – 357g Cake Long Ma Tong Qing Raw Pu-erh Tea – Yiwu 1989
Couldn't load pickup availability
An ancient rarity of traditional raw tea and the maturity of a ripe tea.
Origin: Yiwu, Yunnan
Estimated Vintage: Late 1980s (1988–1989)
Storage: Traditional natural aging in a dry Guangdong environment
Specificity
A true collector's item for lovers of aged Pu-erh.
The Long Ma Tong Qing Yuan Cha is one of the iconic packaging from the late 90s productions, which have now become particularly sought after.
After more than two decades of natural aging, this Yiwu Sheng Pu-erh reaches a fascinating stage: its natural fermentation is now extremely advanced.
We are here at the rare boundary between two worlds.
This tea remains an authentic Sheng Pu-erh, but its evolution now allows it to develop certain characteristics usually found in great ripe (Shu) Pu-erh: exceptional roundness, absence of bitterness, oily texture with a very calm character
But unlike an artificially fermented Shu, this transformation required more than twenty years of patience.
The result is much more subtle, deep, noble, and complex.
Today, this cake is in an exceptional tasting period.
Packaging
Traditional compressed cake of 357 grams
Bouquet
Dry:
The nose is particularly fragrant, enveloping with a rare vanilla dimension, highlighting the advanced evolution of the leaf. Also very pronounced with ancient precious wood, aged leather, noble resin, dried fruits, and delicate camphor
Infused:
- floral nectar
- aged honey
- deep vanilla
- ripe fruits
- precious wood
- refined medicinal notes
- subtle minerality
Taste
From the first sips, the texture is impressive:
- ample
- silky
- oily
- deep
- perfectly balanced
The attack is sweet, round, and extremely mature.
We find camphor, vanilla, aged honey, noble wood, dried fruits, aged leather with refined medicinal notes and a soft minerality.
The almost total absence of astringency is reminiscent of some very old, high-end cooked Pu-erh with the roundness of forest humus after rain.
The tea develops a magnificent Hui Gan, long, sweet, and persistent.
Infusion after infusion, new aromatic layers appear.
Tone
Deep amber-red liquor. Clear; Bright; Oily
A color evocative of perfectly matured great Sheng.
Texture
Dense, velvety, smooth, and very persistent

A rare and authentic aged Yiwu Sheng.

Customer Reviews
Let customers speak for us
from 41 reviewsThe textured mouthfeel of this shou is incredible! From the first infusuion you feel its density - silky and fuuull, spreading through the entire mouth and setting into oily, kind of waxy afterfeel... Yeah, afterfeel - as this tea is more about sensetions that unfold through the session...
The flavor profile leans toward deep earthy notes. Very grounded character, so dense but clean. And in the later infusions, especially when brewed a bit cooler, the profile shifts toward dark chocolate tones becoming rounder and softer
That brick become one of my favorites so fast after recieving the batch from Alexandre and the half of it went out very very quickly as its creamy earthy profile is sooooo addictive
This shou presents a dense, deeply woody profile. Mature wood notes emerge - full-bodied and gently enveloping
The liquor feels clean and clear and goes to nice orange tone after 6 brews while maintaining its dense woody characterr with increasing sweetness in each infusion
In the aftertaste sweet, silky cocoa unfolds - smooth and refined, like dark chocolate slowly melting on the tongue🙂↔️
P.S. the tea is really dense and can easily replace a meal:)
Comblé et ravi de la découverte de ce site mais SURTOUT de la sélection. Au delà de sa sympathie, Alexandre est un véritable orfèvre du Pu Erh...Conseil avisé, justesse, adaptation et surtout...Voyage dans la tasse. Néophyte, je n'ai pas réussi à trouver mieux et je ne souhaite qu'une chose : voir son catalogue s étayer au fil des saisons. Merci à toi Alexandre et au plaisir de recommander sur ta boutique (bientôt) !
Just finished last 5g of this brick today morning so its a perfect time for a review
When it first arrived, maybe like 6-7 omonths ago, the tea showed his tannic stucture power and was super sharp BUT after few weeks of "resting" on the shelf it really opened up - the body become smoother, rounder and pleasant
With weekly sessions over the course of month the tea gradually reveled its character. Personally, I found it more enjoyable after the meals. The earthy base opened with cocoa depth and transitioned into a gentle tannic structure with a touch of sweetness, and overall remaining its round and deeply layered structure
I had never experienced that noticeable tannins in shou before this brick, so at first they felt a bit unusual. Through the time and explorings this and other shou they become very familiar. Lightly drying sensation in the mouth which arrived gently and faded quickly
For this price point, the experience you get feels muuuuuuuuch muuuuch more than fair
Appreciete you Alexandre!
Produit d'excellence !!! Après diverses expériences sur d'autres sites c'est désormais ICI et uniquement que je ferai mes commandes !!! Tout est parfait !!! Conseils, suivi, expédition... Merci pour tout cher Alexandre.
Bonne continuation

I give seven stars out of seven. Great tea. Very tasty, refreshing, toning and invigorating. I also want to note that this cake lasts for a very long time. Super 🙌 , Alexander, thank you and express my respect 🫡!!!
Very good, time-tested and tasted tea by me personally, more than once. Excellent rich and at the same time soft taste. Very powerful effect and tangible benefits. A cup of this tea will not leave you indifferent. This is one of my favorites. There should always be such kindness. This is not my first brick, and I really recommend it to both connoisseurs and beginners. 👍👍👍Thank you! ☺️
I know that this raw puer has a wonderful taste of medium saturation and quite powerful and at the same time soft effect. Thank you Alexander for the constant quality! I recommend this tea to every connoisseur of truly high-quality healthy and invigorating drinks.
I have been a tea drinker for many years now, reading a lot about tea.
I was looking for tea pu erh resine since I’ve never tasted it.
That’ s how i found the « crème pu erh cuit » on Alexandre website « le meilleur thé de Chine ».
I really enjoyed drinking this crème de thé!
It taste like fermented tea no doubt about it , and it is very easy to prépare .
Great tea 🫖! I consider this option to be one of the most optimal in terms of price and quality ratio. Delicious taste, pleasant aroma and very noticeable effect. It feels like this product is really useful!
Discovered Chinese Resin Tea quite recently so went to the top-of-the-tree to compare. It took a while to tune in to various teas but I can now confidently say that this falls into that top category, quite delightful tea but the price is a bit of a stretch. Is it worth it? Yes, I will likely be tempted at some point again, I would suggest that you will never know what you missed until you try it.
Great product. Excellent taste, quality, and effect. A real raw Puerh. Connoisseurs will appreciate and understand what we are talking about! 👌🙂
I'm very satisfied. 😊 I really liked this tea. It is very dense and long-playing. Great taste, and the aroma already guarantees the quality.! 💪One of my favorites.
Great product. High quality combined with a rich aroma, such a unique taste, and an unforgettable aftertaste provides you with an equally unforgettable experience. I recommend this tea! 🫖 that's what you need. An important clarification - do not abuse otherwise it will be difficult to fall asleep and you will have to move a lot... 😁👍
