"Ban Zhang" is named after its place of origin and holds a prestigious position in Yunnan and China's Pu-erh tea industry. Known for its full-bodied flavor, strong tea energy, and thickness and firmness, it is celebrated as the "King of Pu-erh Tea."

Our "Ban Zhang Golden Tips" Pu-erh tea cake is crafted from the tender buds of large-leaf tea trees in Ban Zhang village, handpicked in the spring of 2008, just before the Qingming Festival. Sourced from one of the most prestigious tea regions, this tea cake is made during the optimal harvest season using only the finest buds, resulting in a classic, high-quality ripe Pu-erh tea.

This rare 380-gram tea cake, unlike conventional weights, has been carefully aged for 17 years. The tea liquor is clean and rich, offering a smooth, full-bodied flavor complemented by delicate aged aromas and a bold, long-lasting sweetness that lingers on the palate.

Please note: The packaging of aged tea cakes may naturally develop creases or signs of wear over time. This is entirely normal and does not affect the tea's quality or flavor. Instead, these marks serve as a testament to the tea's storied journey through time. As Pu-erh tea ages, it deepens in complexity, character, showcasing its truly unique charm.
