2014 Craftedleaf Handmade Ban Zhang Ancient Raw Puerh ( Spring )
Craftedleaf began the custom made series of “Ban Zhang Teacake” in 2006. After years of tasting the raw tea materials from Lao Ban Zhang, we decided to use leaves from Lao Ban Zhang large-leaf tea bushes between 100 and 300 years of age. The leaves for this tea were picked in March of 2014, with the standard of one bud with one or two leaves; only Premium Grade 1 leaves are used, specially and carefully crafted using traditional processing methods.
When compared to other raw pu-erh cakes produced in other area in Yunnan, our Ban Zhang has a characteristically strong “ba qi”(means its overwhelming yet perfectly blended bittersweetness, with its fullest flavor coming out around the fourth infusion. This tea has a prominent bitter character up front that quickly melts into a sweet aftertaste, going down smoothly and leaving an enjoyable fragrance in your mouth; this bitterness almost completely fades in later infusions, just as the sweetness becomes more and more prominent. In the end it carries a strong, heavy honey aroma, most noticeable when smelling your empty cup after brewing.
