This is a well aged Guangdong storage ripe pu-erh tea pressed in 2008 by the Lao Man'e Brand. This is composed of a blend of gong ting, te ji, grade 1,3,5 ripe tea leaves wet piled from tea leaves harvested entirely from the Bu Lang mountains. The wet pile batch was done with a medium-light level of fermentation to preserve more of the raw "sheng" character of the tea leaves. The result is an aromatic tea with plenty of cherry cola sweetness and just a little bit of chocolate bitter character. Although this tea is called "Ban Zhang Wang" it's unlikely that there is any Ban Zhang material in the cake. So many larger Pu-erh tea factories based in Menghai love to refer to their teas as "Ban Zhang" to cash-in on the hype surrounding Ban Zhang teas. Nevertheless, this is a fantastic semi-aged ripe tea that is sure to be pleasing to ripe fans! 357 Grams per cake 2008 Pressing
