’08 Cam-fleur

Cam-fleur has slate‑peat depth that opens the session before lifting into a clean, vanilla‑sweet rise that softens the edges just long enough for the cheeks to tweak, tweak under its lively mid-aged puerh astringency. A bright honeysuckle huigan follows on the exhale—persistent, structured, and unmistakably confident Yongnian TF production.

Stone‑pressed and Guangdong stored, Cam-fleur bears the imprint of qiaomu gucha, ancient‑tree material worked through traditional, unhurried processing. The neipiao confirms its pedigree: a 100‑year arbor autumn harvest drawn from Baoshan, Lancang, Xishuangbanna, and Simao—a rare four‑prefecture blend that marries mineral depth with floral clarity. This is the kind of cross‑regional composition collectors rarely encounter after the mid‑2000s.

Since landing in Los Angeles in Nov ’23, the cake has cleared from oppressive humid origins to deliver a steady unfurling of sweetness. The Guangdong warmth provided early cooked intensity; LA’s environs guide the Yongnian treasure toward greater definition and lift.

For drinkers who appreciate peaty undertones, floral rebound, and disciplined astringency, ’08 Cam‑fleur delivers both immediate satisfaction and a clear path of future transformation. A mid‑aged raw with character, pedigree, and room to grow.
