This raw pu erh cake from the Chaze tea factory is made from a refined blend of tea leaves and golden buds. They are harvested from at least 150-year-old ancient trees in 5 different villages in the Xishuangbanna tea area. It offers a well balanced, rich flower and honey aroma, with excellent thick and viscous texture.

Chaze Four-Star Tea Cakes

When you see four red stars on the wrapping paper of Chaze tea cakes, you can feel assured that it will be an impressive tea. In fact, only the leaves from trees that are 150 years old or older can be used for the Chaze Four-Star cakes. This ensures top quality tea and a rich taste.
