This Lao Ban Zhang Sheng Pu-erh is a highly prized raw (sheng) variety of fermented tea from Yunnan Province, China. Compressed into a traditional cake form, it showcases the bold character and storied heritage of one of the most revered tea-producing regions in the world. Renowned for its bold taste, this Pu-erh opens with a firm, slightly astringent that gradually gives way to a deep, lingering sweetness. Lao Ban Zhang, a legendary village nestled in the mountains of Yunnan, is celebrated for its ancient tea trees, some hundreds of years old. These old-growth trees yield premium leaves rich in energy (cha qi), complexity, and depth qualities that have made Lao Ban Zhang Pu-erh one of the most sought-after and collectible teas among connoisseurs.
