2024 Laobanzhang Shengpu - King of Pu'er tea, Stone-pressed cake

2024 Laobanzhang Shengpu - King of Pu'er tea, Stone-pressed cakeA powerful energy, called chq in Chinese, is what characterizes Laobanzhang pu'er. The typical bitterness of Bulang area is here hidden by the intense sweetness of the dry 2024 season, and only emerges in later brews, after the initial sugary hues of nectar start to tone down. A refreshing vegetal flavor persists in the palate, and is slowly accompanied by a crescendo of notes, ranging from the floral hues of peonies to the fruity hints of apricots,

while the gentle interplay of florals and warm spices introduces a refined elegance to the composition

the design reflects the flowing patterns of nature and the timeless artistry of Dai culture and aesthetics

The gradient hues

one that evokes the feeling of walking through an ancient courtyard

combined with the citrusy fragrance of tangerine

and numerous traders have claimed to own the original flavor of Yiwu

the higher level of liquid sugar concentrated in the leaves provides with an amazing aroma

These luminous notes drift like a gentle breeze

bitter at the first sip and sweet in the aftertaste

sweet and fragrant
