Lao Banzhang Shou Puerh - Perfect Fusion of Power and Mellowness

Lao Banzhang is hailed as the "King of Pu-erh Tea," renowned for its dominating cha qi and intense flavor. Crafting Lao Banzhang ancient tree material into shou puerh is a bold and exquisite endeavor. Through fermentation and 16 years of aging, Banzhang's dominating cha qi is preserved while adding the characteristic mellow smoothness of ripe pu-erh. Bitterness and astringency are greatly reduced, sweetness is significantly enhanced, presenting a unique style that balances strength and gentleness.

Tasting Experience - Rich, Full, and Lingering

The tea liquor is deep red and transparent, crystal clear like amber. The aroma is steady and contained, with aged woody fragrance and subtle medicinal notes. The entry is rich and full-bodied, with a viscous, rice soup-like texture that is smooth and delicate. Banzhang's characteristic cha qi remains abundant but is no longer stimulating, instead presenting a gentle, lasting body sensation. Returning sweetness and salivation are pronounced, throat feel is profound, and the fragrance lingers long in the mouth after drinking, leaving endless aftertaste.
