This is a blend of many different spring 2018 raw pu-erh teas from Lincang, Simao, and Menghai! The name "Bai Jia Cha" (百家茶) literally means "Tea from a Hundred Households". While perhaps it's not from a hundred different tea gardens, it's a varied blend from several distinct areas that is very interesting and complex to drink. This is a budget blended raw pu-erh that performs very well and will age wonderfully. It's affordable enough to stock up and good enough to age into something very nice!

Reviews

Great depth

"This was my first time trying raw pu erh. I've tried many ripes and other teas but this was a different experience. Encouraged me to buy a bunch of raw samples!"

— Carter L. (5/5)

Excellent daily drinker

"This tea is excellent for the price; I get strong notes of honey and strawberry with a present, but not overpowering, pine tar bitterness. Floral notes come through with further infusions, which then give way to the pine notes. I believe this should age really well!"

— Chaz B. (4/5)

Fine, but lacks the depth of a great aged Pur-Eh

"Cards on the table very nice for the value, but to rate we must compare. This was enjoyable but lacks the depth of nuance of longer aged Pur-eh. As far it's overall impression there was the weight and concentration as expected, but the palate didn't evolve and expand to make this more than an enjoyable drinking tea"
