First flush of spring 2012 material from 60 to 100 year old wild arbor tea trees growing in Xin Ban Zhang village. Xin Ban Zhang is the neighbor village to Lao Ban Zhang and the tea from here shares much character with Lao Ban Zhang tea. The bitterness is a bit more persistent with Xin Ban Zhang. The leaf structure, mouth-feel and aroma is much the same. An intense cha qi accompanies the drinking experience. This intensity is the perfect fuel to transform this tea through the years.

400 grams per cake.
Stone-Pressed in the traditional manner.

Reviews

very intensive, but not long lasting

"VERY intensive oily, leathery sweet smell and taste, but fades away after ~5 steps, as was mentioned before. Bitterness is really there. My sample was with much more smaller and tender buds (~3cm) and more chanky leaves, than at photos. It was interesting to try this tea."

Excellent raw puerh!

"Excellent taste with "oomph", but it's different from Lao Bang Zhang, more weak and just a little bitter, and more clean I think! Aroma is nice. The power is gone after 5 steps."

— Artem (5/5)
