Lao Ban Zhang Black Tea originates from Lao Ban Zhang Village (elevation 1,700+ meters) in the heart of Bulang Mountain, Menghai County, Yunnan. Crafted from century-old ancient tea tree leaves using traditional methods, it embodies exceptional quality. The tea is sourced from Yunnan large-leaf varietal trees aged over 100 years, their roots deeply embedded in mineral-rich red soil, absorbing nutrients and the essence of nature. The leaves are thick and robust, with golden-tipped buds covered in fine down.
The high-altitude terroir, misty humidity, and significant day-night temperature variations contribute to the tea’s rich inner compounds (higher polyphenol and amino acid content than average black teas). Picked strictly to the "one bud, two leaves" standard, the fresh leaves retain vibrant vitality and pristine quality.
