Description

Our 2009 Banchang Tree Puerh originates from uncultivated trees in the Lao Ban Chang region in Yunnan, China. This region is home to the Bu Lang tribe, which has been producing tea since 1476. Thousands of old tea trees including those surpassing 800 years grow in the jungle with other wild plants. This puerh is rare since it is historically famous, high quality, has desirable flavors, is of limited supply, and most of the raw materials are monopolized by one tea factory. Our 2009 Banchang Tree Puerh utilizes the Da Yeh varietal, is Grade AAA, and falls in the Sheng (raw) category of puerh. Apricot notes are dominant and mingle with mushroom, rhubarb, clove, and pepper notes. This tea is earthy and toasty. We highly recommend gongfu brewing for best results.
