Tea from RM 1500 - RM 1999

The “Gu Shu Wang” Raw Puer Tea is an original classic series created by Purple Cane. It follows the concept and format of “Purple Cane Wild Puer Tea” series (2001-2007) of 500g per tea cake, releasing a newly produced batch each year since 2008. It has become an all-time-favourite puer tea as well as a valuable collectible popular among tea lovers.

The tea leaves are harvested from centuries-old trees of the large-leafed varietal from Mengku mountainous areas, Yunnan Province, China. The raw leaves undergo a meticulous “kill-green” process before being steamed and compressed into round tea cakes.

The stout leaf strips of Gu Shu Wang yield a golden tea infusion with a lively, rich and full-bodied flavour, refreshing aroma, and lingering mellow aftertaste. This tea promises the best of both worlds - it is good enough for enjoyment right now; meanwhile, it ages well and will achieve a mellower and richer to produce an even more satisfying brew for a long time to come.

Produced by Purple Cane Malaysia since 2001, the “Wild Puer” is a classic example of originality. It is a natural ageing condition (dry storage) branded tea of Malaysia. The raw material comes from the primitive organic wild tea bushes of Mengku, Yunnan. Leaves from these rare and ancient tea trees, more than 500 years old, give a profound taste, strong aroma, relishing flavour; in short, what Puer tea is all about.

In early spring of April 2001, Purple Cane together with tea extraordinaire Mr. Xiuyuan Lin and Mr. Rong Jiasheng, Chairman of Yunnan Shuangjiang Mengku Tea Co. Ltd., held a spring Tea Expo in Kunming. From this expo the first ever custom-made tea product with all-inclusive ingredients – “Purple Cane Wild Puer” (500g) - from the Mengku Daxueshan Tea District was conceived.

The tea cake surface is compressed with the original leaves of ancient arbor tea trees. Red, yellow and purple ribbons are compressed within the tea cakes. The purple symbolises the exclusive distribution to Purple Cane whilst red and yellow point to distribution to the China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan tea market. Since then, Purple Cane has consistently followed up year after year in a 7-year-long production cooperation.

In 2002, to celebrate the seventh International Tea Culture Seminar cum Malaysia International Tea Festival, Purple Cane produced the “7th International Tea Culture Seminar Green Puer” (Dian Qing Yuan Cha) as a unique souvenir for fellow participants to collect.

The fresh leaves were harvested from large-leaf varietal tea trees that grow in the high mountain tea areas of southwest Yunnan, China. They underwent procedures of fixation, rolling, and sun-drying before being steamed and compressed into high-quality round tea cakes. With abundant rainfall, non-extreme climates, and a balanced ecosystem, these natural mountain areas produce supreme tea leaves rich in substances.

The infusion yields a bright yellowish-green tastes mellow and full-bodied with a strong aftertaste. This tea is now ready to be consumed for its signature refreshing note but could be kept for ageing to approach a smoother, more complex flavour.

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.
