Yiwu Ancient Tree Phoenix Nest 2025 Early Spring: A Tale of Two Teas – Loose Maocha vs. Hand-Pressed Mini Cake

 a Rare Pair

In the prolonged early spring of 2025, delayed by an unseasonal cold snap, we harvested the first flush from 23 ancient tea trees (300+ years old) in the heart of Phoenix Nest. This precious yield was preserved in two distinct forms:

Loose Maocha: Untamed and wild

100g Mini Cake: a time capsule of mountain essence

"Two lives from the same ancient tree—a parallel experiment in tea transformation."
— Dao Yongchang, Yiwu Intangible Cultural Heritage Tea Master

Loose Maocha · The Untamed  Spirit

Mini Cake · The Refined Wild

"When the free spirit of loose tea meets the disciplined beauty of pressed cake, which better reveals Phoenix Nest’s true essence?"

This cross-form tea odyssey may require a decade to unveil its final answer—and that is the most enchanting poetry of ancient tree tea.
