This tea comes directly from a tea-growing family at No. 75, Lao Ban Zhang Village, Menghai, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. Made from ecological big-tree tea leaves harvested in 2025 and traditionally processed, each cake is pressed to 200g.

The dry leaves are thick, well-developed, and beautifully defined. Once brewed, the tea produces a bright, clear golden liquor with the distinctive strength and character for which Lao Ban Zhang is known.

One of its most noticeable qualities is its pronounced orchid-like aroma. The tea opens with a powerful, full-bodied presence and a slight initial bitterness, which quickly transforms into a lingering sweetness. Salivation develops rapidly, leaving the mouth fresh, lively, and pleasantly sweet.

As the infusions progress, the tea gradually reveals greater depth and balance. Its strength, sweetness, floral aroma, and distinctive mountain character come together beautifully, offering a vivid expression of Lao Ban Zhang big-tree Pu-erh.

For experienced Pu-erh drinkers, this tea offers the strength, body, and mountain character associated with Lao Ban Zhang. At the same time, its quick-returning sweetness and clean transformation of bitterness make it an excellent choice for those who are just beginning to explore Lao Ban Zhang Pu-erh.
