Ban Zhang 2020

This tea is a production by major Pu’er producer Li Ming (Ba Jiao Ting) with material coming from tea gardens of the infamous Ban Zhang area. It has a very delicate taste without much astringency. 

This tea has been produced by China’s highest ecological standards which is indicated by the white cabbage (in Chinese called Da Bai Cai 大白菜）in the center of the wrapper. We’ve also got this tea tested in a lab and its results were very good. 

Li Ming (黎明, daybreak) is a rather large state owned tea producer that makes Pu Era tea under the label Ba Jiao Ting (八角亭, Octagonal Pavilion). This producer serves a wide spectrum of teas. You can find lower quality plantation tea as well as high quality tea from older trees and tea gardens.
