The 2013 Junchang Hao Ripe Pu-erh uses the same signature blend of ancient-tree material from Menghai and Fengqing in Lincang, balancing richness with fragrance, but it shows more youthful clarity beside the deeper 2009.

The brew is a bright red-amber, with golden tips often visible in the leaf. The fragrance is sweet and refined, leaning toward dried longan, warm grain, and a gentle roasted-nut note, with an early aged character beginning to deepen. The texture is thick yet silky, smooth from the first infusion, and the aftertaste is clean and lingering, leaving a soft sweetness that stays in the mouth without heaviness. It is an indulgent tea with the structure to become darker and more opulent as it continues to age.
