Description

Origin: Banpen Village area, Bulang, Menghai Yunnan, China.

Vintage/Harvest: Spring 2008

Tea vartietal: Camellia Sinensis var Assamica

Tea trees age: around 150-250 year old trees

Pure natural Malaysian storage as its best. Banpen (near to Lao Banzhang village) spring leaves harvested from old trees and gushu. Now fresh leaves from Banpen are few times more expensive than this aged tea. It was produced by small local factory when Banpen village was not so famous.

Perfectly balanced Ban Pen pu-erh with excellent, instant huigan (returning sweetness – sweet aftertaste). Plums, flowers, and typical Bulang honey sweetness. Excellent semi-aged, old tree pu-erh.
