1990s Ban Zhang Raw Pu-erh Tea | Malaysia Return Aged Tea | #130
Malaysia Return Aged Sheng Pu-erh 480g
This rare 1990s aged raw pu-erh tea originates from the renowned Ban Zhang tea region in Yunnan and was originally exported to Malaysia before returning to the Chinese tea market after decades of natural aging. Often referred to as a “Malaysia return” pu-erh, this style of aged tea is prized for its deep maturity and complex aroma developed through long-term storage.
The tea was sourced in earlier years by the historic Shenchang Tea House, a traditional tea merchant known for selecting high-quality large-leaf pu-erh material from the famous Ban Zhang area. The leaves display well-formed, evenly arranged strips that reflect the quality of the original tea material.
When brewed, the tea reveals a rich, deep red liquor that is clear and luminous. The aroma is layered and elegant, featuring subtle medicinal notes complemented by aged woody and mellow Chen aroma. These fragrances develop gradually during brewing, creating a refined and lingering tea experience.
The taste is smooth, full-bodied, and gentle, with a soft yet structured texture. The tea liquor moves smoothly across the palate with a delicate balance of aged sweetness and light woody notes. A subtle medicinal character appears in the aftertaste, a hallmark of well-aged pu-erh tea.
The finish is long and comforting, leaving a pleasant sensation in the throat and a lingering aged tea character. The brewed leaves appear brownish and supple, showing the maturity and stability of this decades-old tea.
This tea offers a classic profile of traditional aged raw pu-erh, making it a wonderful choice for collectors and tea drinkers who appreciate the depth and complexity of mature teas.
