（From Our Own Tea Garden）

Ancient-Tree Pure Material: “Pure material” means all the leaves come from the core Lao Banzhang region. “Ancient trees” means the leaves are picked only from large, old trees.

Blended Material: Most of the leaves come from Lao Banzhang, combined with a smaller portion from other regions, or a mix of leaves from ancient trees and younger trees.

All of our Lao Banzhang tea comes entirely from ancient-tree material. Please note the difference between ancient-tree pure material and blended material.

What’s the pinnacle of Gongfu tea?  

 It has to be Lao Banzhang Pu’er — a name every true tea lover knows.

Think of it as the Rolls-Royce of tea, the Lafite of brews, the Blue Mountain of the tea world.

Because Lao Banzhang is rare and expensive, counterfeits flood the market.   To protect this thousand-year-old ancient tea garden, only those with deep partnerships with local farmers can enter during the spring harvest.   Bringing in tea from other mountains is strictly forbidden.

Today, only three companies in the world have processing factories in Lao Banzhang — baiyunteahouse is one of them.   You're welcome to visit our ancient tea garden in person — don't be fooled by fakes!

The taste?   Bold and intense.   Bitter at first, but quickly turns sweet, with rich floral and fruity notes that bloom in the mouth.   After three years of aging, the flavor reaches new heights — this is the true summit of Gongfu tea.

From Lao Banzhang — The King of Gongfu Tea Gardens

Lao Banzhang is not just a name — it’s a legend. Nestled deep in the mountainous terrain of Bulang Mountain Township, Lao Banzhang village is famed as the “Number One Pu-erh Village in China.”

The region’s high elevation (~1800m), dense vegetation, and abundant mists form a uniquely rich microclimate. With 1,500mm of annual rainfall and a year-round average temperature of 18.7°C, the environment is ideal for ancient tea trees to flourish.

Its soil is dark, fertile, and rich in humus, while remaining breathable—encouraging deep root systems to draw vital minerals and nutrients. The nearby Nada Meng Reservoir, one of the largest natural water sources in the region, provides sustained hydration throughout the year.

This cake is crafted exclusively from first-spring leaves from old trees in the core area of Lao Banzhang village, not blended or spliced. It reflects not only the terroir, but also the untamed power of this "overlord of ancient tea forests."

Final Note — A Ripe Pu-erh with the Soul of a Wild Mountain Warrior

Lao Banzhang is known for its bold, untamed spirit — and that’s often associated with raw Pu-erh.
Yet this ripe Pu-erh captures that same force, now mellowed and deepened by time and fire.

From the richness of its liquor to the quiet power of its aroma, this cake offers not just flavor—but presence.

It does not shout. It hums — with age, with patience, and with the resonance of ancient roots.
