Lao Banzhang — Not Just a Name
Where Gongfu Tea reaches its peak, and you can see the trees with your own eyes.
In the world of Gongfu tea, Lao Banzhang isn’t just a name.
It’s a mountain.
A legend.
A benchmark.
To those who know, it’s called the King of Pu’er—and not without reason.
Its aroma is bold.
Its flavor, intense and resonant.
Its lingering finish stays in the throat and mind.
And once you’ve tasted it, even once, you’ll understand why no other tea dares to speak louder.
The Peak of Gongfu Tea Has a Name
There’s an old saying among tea lovers:
“You haven’t truly drunk Gongfu tea until you’ve tasted Lao Banzhang.”
Not because it’s rare.
Not because it’s expensive.
But because it has presence.
True Lao Banzhang gushu (ancient tree) tea has a strength that’s not loud—but deep.
Drinking it is like meeting someone who doesn't have to prove anything.
It changes the room. It changes the drinker.
But here’s the truth: the market is flooded with fakes.
Cheap blends with flashy labels, claiming “Banzhang” on the front—but offering none of its spirit.
And that’s exactly why we’re doing something different.
We want you to come see it for yourself.
You Can Do More Than Drink It—You Can Visit It
We don’t just sell tea from Lao Banzhang.
We have land, trees, and long-standing relationships with the local villagers.
And now, we’re opening a rare opportunity to tea lovers like you:

And the best part?
You’re invited to visit.

Why Are We Doing This?
Because we’re tired of the fakes too.
Too many teas claim to be “ancient,” yet they come from young bushes on plantations.
Too many stories are written like legends—but the leaves are soulless.
We want to return to truth.
To let people experience what real Gongfu tea is meant to be—grounded, alive, unforgettable.
To connect you to the very mountain that gives this tea its name, its strength, its soul.
Your Tea Might Already Be From One of These Trees
Yes—the tea you’re holding right now may have come from a tree that’s waiting for you to claim it.
Spring harvest is underway.
The mountain is alive.
And your place in the forest is waiting.
Come see it for yourself.
