Sourced from wild tea leaves of the Ban Zhang tea region, this 357-gram raw Puerh cake is classified as "Te Ji Pin" (Special Grade), the pinnacle of its wild tea series.
Renowned for its exceptional quality, this tea reflects the untamed vitality of its origins, refined through nearly two decades of aging.
The tea showcases tight, robust threads that have matured into a striking, dark appearance after approximately 20 years, exuding visual elegance and craftsmanship. When brewed, it yields a clear, radiant liquor that hints at its pristine character.
On the palate, it delivers a round, mellow taste interwoven with a rich bitterness. This bitterness, far from being sharp or overpowering, integrates seamlessly into the tea’s depth, fading quietly and leaving a harmonious impression—appealing even to those who typically shy away from bold flavors. Astringency is nearly absent, enhancing its smooth profile.
The aftertaste unfolds with pronounced Hui Gan (returning sweetness), accompanied by a wave-like surge of saliva that fills the mouth, a testament to its vitality. Impressive in its strength and flavor variations, this Puerh exudes a potent Cha Qi (tea energy), offering a refreshing and resilient taste that distinctly embodies the wild tea’s unique character.
Crafted with a masterful recipe, it achieves an exquisite balance of all elements—bitterness, sweetness, and texture—making it a standout in its class.
Naturally stored in Guangzhou, this tea has matured gracefully, deepening its complexity over time.
Highly recommended for tea enthusiasts of all preferences, this Ban Zhang wild tea promises an elevated and rewarding experience, blending intensity with refinement in every sip.
