This tea is a classic from Ban Zhang, the most renowned area in the Menghai region, famed for its exceptional Pu-erh teas. This cake is crafted exclusively from hand-picked leaves and golden buds harvested from ancient trees over 300 years old, growing wild in the pristine forests of Bulang Shan. Unspoiled by pesticides, the mountain’s rich organic soil and unique microclimate provide ideal conditions for producing tea of extraordinary softness and character. Each leaf is carefully selected, air-dried, roasted, gently fermented, and steamed before being pressed into a perfectly balanced cake. The result is a tea that captures all the subtlety, complexity, and tradition of its legendary origins—a true treasure for any tea connoisseur.
