Lao Man'e tea is famous for its strength, bitterness, mouthfeel, and cha qi. In many ways it occupies a middle ground between the more extreme bitterness of Jie Liang tea and the bitterness-with-fast-returning-sweetness that Lao Ban Zhang is so famous for. Even when processed as ripe pu-erh, Lao Man'e material retains a powerful, unmistakable village character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1400\"\u003eThis is the most potent single-estate ripe tea we have ever pressed. It is quite bitter by ripe pu-erh standards, but also incredibly complex tasting, with a dense, long-lasting mouthfeel and very strong cha qi. This is not a soft, easygoing ripe meant for casual drinking. Rather, it is a deeply characterful and powerful ripe tea for those who appreciate strength, bitterness, texture, and endurance in the cup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"2081\"\u003eThe brewed tea is thick, dark, and rich, with a pronounced bittersweet profile that immediately sets it apart from sweeter and milder ripe teas. The bitterness evokes dark chocolate and medicinal herbs, but this is supported by deep sweetness, a heavy mouth-coating texture, and a finish that lingers for a very long time in the mouth and throat. With successive infusions the tea opens into a more layered experience, revealing earth, wood, bitter cacao, mineral depth, and a slowly emerging sweetness that returns after swallowing. The cha qi is very strong and penetrating, making this a tea that is best appreciated when you have the time and attention to really sit with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2083\" data-end=\"2324\"\u003eIf you are looking for a powerful village-specific ripe pu-erh with real structure and unmistakable Bu Lang character, this tea is highly recommended.

Its value is not built around a famous name printed on the wrapper, but around the quality of the leaf itself: powerful old-tree material, careful traditional processing, remarkable depth, and the unmistakable presence that only truly exceptional tea can possess.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe liquor is bright, clear, and golden-yellow. Its aroma is deep and penetrating, combining wildflowers, warm honey, sweet wood, and a subtle fruit-like richness. The tea enters the mouth with an immediate sense of fullness, expanding across the palate with a dense, almost creamy texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough smooth and refined, this is not a delicate or insubstantial tea. Beneath its sweetness is a firm structure, measured bitterness, and a slight astringency that quickly transforms into returning sweetness and persistent salivation. The flavor remains in the mouth and throat long after swallowing, gradually revealing layers of honey, flowers, ripe fruit, minerals, and a distinctive dark, almost chocolate-like sweetness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cha qi is strong, clear, and deeply settling. Rather than arriving all at once, it builds steadily through the session, bringing warmth to the body and a calm, focused state of mind. The tea remains remarkably stable through many infusions, with its texture, aroma, and returning sweetness continuing long after lesser teas would have faded.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Ancient Grove” was selected for drinkers who value the experience inside the cup more than the prestige of a disclosed place-name.

The aroma is immediately floral and sweet, with notes of orchid, wildflower honey, fresh bamboo, sweet wood, and a faint suggestion of citrus peel. In the mouth the tea is thick, smooth, and almost creamy, coating the tongue and palate before gradually spreading into the throat. Sugarcane sweetness is present from the first infusions, joined by soft grain, rock sugar, and hints of white peach as the session develops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is youthful bitterness, but it is clean and measured rather than aggressive, providing just enough structure to keep the sweetness from becoming one-dimensional. Astringency is low. After swallowing, the tea quickly produces a strong hui gan and persistent sheng jin, leaving the mouth cool, lubricated, and increasingly sweet. The finish seems to build rather than disappear, with lingering floral sweetness remaining well after the cup is empty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cha qi is similarly deceptive.

According to local people, Pasha was settled more than 300 years ago by people from the Jinghong and Damenglong area of Xishuangbanna. At that time this area had no villages or cultivated land within 10 kilometers and was dominated by vast mountains filled with giant ancient tea trees. The Aini people, through foresight and diligent work, created their home on this land, relying on tea to earn a living. Pasha Ancient Tea Mountain is located in Menghai county to the Southwest of Gelanghe tea mountain. The highest elevation is 1850 meters, with an average of 1700 meters (the same as Lao Banzhang mountain). There are currently around 1000 acres of tea under cultivation. One hundred thirty years ago, the current Banzhang settlement was founded by residents of Pasha who moved there to cultivate tea. Pasha Ancient Tea Mountain is shrouded in fog year-round and features abundant rainfall. The tea producing area lies between 1600 and 1800 meters elevation and is in an area of luxuriant growth with rich ground cover and fertile soil. Tea tree growth is extremely productive, with an early budding period and long harvest periods, producing large healthy tea leaves with striking silver tips -- excellent quality tea. Pasha organic arbor tea is made from selected ancient arbor leaves grown at an elevation of 1700 meters on Pasha Ancient Tea Mountain in Menghai county.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEach cake comes in a free matching gift box that features the full uncropped illustration by \u003cspan class=\"il\"\u003eFabio\u003c\/span\u003e Cesaratto.
