Premium Banna Raw Pu-erh Tea – Ancient Tree Tea from Banna | Vibrant, Floral & Age-Worthy
Tea Characteristics:
Origin: Handpicked from ancient tea trees (100+ years old) in Banna, Yunnan, a renowned region for premium Pu-erh.
Appearance: Tightly compressed cake with silvery buds and emerald-green leaves, showcasing high-quality sun-dried mao cha.
Processing: Traditional stone-pressed raw (sheng) Pu-erh, naturally fermented for gradual aging.
Uniqueness: Banna teas are known for their floral intensity and balanced astringency, setting them apart from other regions.
Taste Profile:
Flavor: Bright, floral (honeysuckle, orchid), with a crisp citrusy tang and underlying honey sweetness.
Aroma: Fresh, herbaceous fragrance with notes of wild mountain herbs and a hint of stone fruit.
Aftertaste: Long-lasting "hui gan" (returning sweetness) and a refreshing cooling sensation (minty finish).
Aging Potential: Develops deeper honey, dried fruit, and woody notes over 5+ years.
Brewing Method (Gongfu Style Recommended):
