1999 Ban Zhang Mother Tree Raw Pu-erh Tea | #122
Aged Sheng Pu-erh 250g
This 1999 Ban Zhang Mother Tree Raw Pu-erh Tea is crafted from rare tea material sourced from the legendary “Mother Tree” lineage of Yunnan large-leaf tea varieties. In pu-erh tea culture, “Mother Tree” refers to the ancestral origin of the famous Yunnan large-leaf tea cultivars that form the foundation of traditional pu-erh tea production.
The tea is made from carefully selected sun-dried raw tea leaves harvested in the Ban Zhang tea region, one of the most respected pu-erh producing areas in Yunnan. Known for producing teas with bold strength and rich flavor, Ban Zhang teas are highly valued by collectors and pu-erh enthusiasts.
This tea has been naturally aged under Kunming dry storage conditions, allowing the tea to slowly develop complex aroma and flavor over time. After more than two decades of aging, the tea now exhibits a beautifully balanced character.
When brewed, the tea produces a thick and dense tea liquor with a clear golden color. The mouthfeel is full-bodied and smooth, delivering a satisfying richness that coats the palate.
The flavor reveals natural honey sweetness with a mellow aged character. As the tea unfolds through successive infusions, layers of aged Chen fragrance gradually emerge, blending harmoniously with the sweetness and depth of the tea.
The tea liquor remains clean, bright, and refined, offering a pleasant balance between strength and smoothness. A long-lasting sweetness develops in the throat, creating a comfortable and lingering aftertaste that reflects the quality of well-aged raw pu-erh tea.
This tea represents a wonderful example of mid-aged vintage pu-erh, combining the powerful character of Ban Zhang tea with the elegance developed through natural aging.
