A one of a kind Lao Ban Zhang ripe pu erh tea. These limited edition ripe pu erh balls has left us speechless with its supreme character.
This tea owes its quality to its origin, Lao Ban Zhang, which is one of the top echelon regions for pu erh in Yunnan. The texture thick, oily, and creamy, while it's complex aroma has notes of bourbon caramel, sweet herbs, and earthy chocolate. As it's made from wild tea leaves, this tea results in a certain tingling body sensation, that can't be described in words, but only be experienced.
