The Ultimate Gong Fu Tea Garden – Ancient Lao Banzhang Collection

The Ultimate Gong Fu Tea Garden – Ancient Lao Banzhang Collection

Experience every tea from the world’s top Gong Fu tea garden.

Only three companies in the entire world hold permanent production bases in the ancient tea garden of Lao Banzhang.
Unlike those who visit once a year to pick a few leaves, we own the complete 12 plots of the No.89 Baiyunteahouse Family Estate, as well as 40 additional ancient tea plots across the legendary Lao Banzhang village.

Here, in the primeval forests of Bulang Mountain, ancient tea trees stand untouched by human interference.
They grow not in plantations, but in wilderness — among moss, orchids, and drifting mist.
Each tree’s roots entwine with centuries of soil and myth.

This collection gathers every type of Lao Banzhang tea, all handcrafted at our No.89 Baiyunteahouse Lao Banzhang Base by our most experienced tea masters — the same artisans who have devoted decades to preserving the soul of Gong Fu tea.

Why This Collection Matters

This is not a sampler.
It is an invitation — to taste the entire spectrum of the world’s top Gong Fu tea garden in one set.
Each tea can last 15+ infusions, suitable for a gaiwan, teapot, or even grandpa style (steeped directly in a mug).
Every piece is individually portioned, perfect for one person or shared among two to three friends.

This is the only ancient tea in the world grown in untouched rainforest,
and the only ancient tea never shaped by human cultivation —
a living relic of the Earth’s purest tea culture.

Tasting the Soul of the Forest

With every sip, you’re not just drinking tea —
you’re stepping into the ancient forest, where mist curls through 600-year-old branches,
where each leaf carries the memory of rain, soil, and silence.
This is Lao Banzhang.
This is the taste of the world’s most sacred Gong Fu tea garden.

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.
