1988 Ban Zhang Ancient Tree Raw Pu-erh Tuo Cha | Aged Sheng Pu-erh
This 1988 aged raw pu-erh tuo cha is crafted from carefully selected ancient tree tea leaves from the famous Ban Zhang tea region in Yunnan. Known for producing some of the most powerful and expressive pu-erh teas, Ban Zhang tea is highly respected among collectors and experienced tea drinkers.
The tea is pressed into traditional tuo cha form, with each piece weighing 100 grams. Made from high-quality ancient tree leaf material, this tea has matured over decades, developing a rich and complex character that reflects both its origin and age.
When brewed, the tea releases a deep and layered aroma, where aged chen fragrance is clearly present and accompanied by subtle wild floral notes. This combination creates a distinctive and elegant aromatic profile unique to well-aged Ban Zhang teas.
The flavor is bold, full-bodied, and powerful, a classic expression often described as the “dominant strength” of Ban Zhang tea. The liquor is thick and concentrated, delivering a strong tea presence while maintaining smoothness and depth.
One of the most remarkable qualities of this tea is its fast and powerful returning sweetness (hui gan), which rises quickly in the throat after each sip. The experience is intense yet balanced, leaving a long-lasting impression that tea enthusiasts appreciate in mature raw pu-erh.
This tea represents a classic example of aged Ban Zhang ancient tree pu-erh, offering a rare opportunity to experience the depth and character of traditional pu-erh tea craftsmanship.
