    • The liquor color is clear and bright, and the tea water is thick and oily.
    • The natural tea flavor is refreshing with medium to low levels of bitterness and astringency.
    • Real Lao Ban Zhang tea from big or old trees tends to be sweeter, similar to sugar cane mixed with honey, rather than bitter and astringent.
  • Market and Pricing:

    • CSH signed a 30-year contract with Lao Ban Zhang village in 2008 to secure fresh tea leaves each year, with price adjustments every five years.
    • The first "Lao Ban Zhang" sheng cake was sold at around 200 Yuan (CNY) in 2008, and prices have risen significantly since then.
