Spring 2024 Nannuo Banpo Lao Zhai Loose Leaf Maocha - Sheng / Raw Puerh Tea

Last year we introduced some really amazing material from Nannuo Shan. This year we have a very intriguing offer from a famous tea village in Nannuo Shan called Banpo Lao Zhai (半坡老寨).

These ancient trees have a rich floral aroma with a nutty, grassy finish. It is soft and sweet in the mouth with full body and noticeable sweetness. It brews long with a light bitterness/astringency and finishes with a long-lasting sweetness. This is really a great tea. You can tell that from the first sip through to the last!
