🌿 My Tea Garden Plan (2026 Season)

 

Adopt an old Banzhang tea tree · One harvest per year, all up to you

Have you ever dreamed of owning an ancient tea tree of your own?

Now, your dream has come true - in Lao Banzhang, the birthplace of the world's top Gongfu tea.

This is not a blend, nor a brand. This is your tree, your leaf, your tea.

 

✨ What makes it different

In a market full of "ancient trees", this is the real deal.

Each tree is numbered, photographed, and traced back to a specific plot in Lao Banzhang - the jewel of Pu'er tea and the king of all Gongfu teas.

 

📍Why Lao Banzhang?

In the Pu'er tea world, Lao Banzhang has been known as the "King of Gongfu Tea" since ancient times. Its ancient tea trees are deeply rooted in the primeval forest, and every leaf contains the essence of wildness and the wisdom of time. 2024-
In 2025, Baiyun Teahouse will become one of only three institutions in the world with a complete Laobanzhang system - from tea garden to finished product. We currently manage all tea trees in Laobanzhang Plot 89 and continue to work with local tea growers in the core production area to bring you the real "your tree, your tea".

The contract for the entire plot of land in Laobanzhang No. 89 was signed from 2026 to 2030

This is not a subscription,
but a living heritage, a connection with the land.
This is your tree, your harvest, and every sip contains your story.

In Laobanzhang, the legendary birthplace of Kung Fu Tea,
each ancient tree contains the power of centuries-old mountain spirits and tranquility.
Now, you can adopt a rare ancient tree, name it,
and start a journey deep into the forest and quiet time.

Adopt your Laobanzhang ancient tea tree - basic plan
One tree, one tea, a fate.
Starting from the birthplace of Gong Fu Tea King, share the spring harvest.

 

🌱 What you will receive

Step 1 · Start adopting

We will contact you by email to confirm your tea tree information.
You will receive:

Naming rights - give your tea tree a unique name.

Tea tree selection - choose a tea tree that meets your expected yield:

A tea tree that produces at least 500 grams of sun-dried large-leaf Mao tea

A tea tree that produces at least 1000 grams of sun-dried large-leaf Mao tea

A tea tree that produces at least 3000 grams of sun-dried large-leaf Mao tea

Mao tea: This is Pu'er raw tea made from freshly picked tea leaves, and is also the base of Pu'er cooked tea. On average, 4.5 kg of fresh leaves can make about 1 kg of sun-dried Mao tea. The yield will vary from year to year, depending on the quality of the tea and the moisture content.
We promise: If the yield is insufficient, we will supplement it with tea of the same quality. If the yield exceeds, it will all belong to you.

The single plant has the largest yield, that is, the larger the tea tree, the richer the tea.

Step 2 · Flavor Selection - Choose the type of tea you prefer:

Production Time (approximately):

Raw Puer (shipping within 1 month)

Ripe Puer (shipping within 3-5 months)

Black Tea (shipping within 2-4 months)

White Tea (shipping within 1 month)

Step 3 · Shape Selection - Choose the final shape of your tea:

100g Tea Cake

200g Tea Cake

8 Tea Dragon Balls

3.5g Mini Tea Bricks

Bulk Tea (due to its large size and low aging value, additional shipping required based on production - not recommended)

Step 4 · Custom Packaging Design Invitation - We will work with you to create your own packaging.

 

📦 Initial adoption package

Photos of your Lao Ban Zhang plot

Adoption certificate card (with unique ID)

Sample tea (mixed trees in plot): 8g × 2 packs

丙午 means: The Chinese calendar means 2026

🌄Tea garden open day

Due to different budding times each year, we will notify you by email when the spring picking date is confirmed, usually between April and May each year.

The current adoption prices are fixed early bird prices.

We will soon launch a separate adoption page for each Lao Ban Zhang tree, and the price will be adjusted according to the age of the tree, plot and production.
