(From Our Own Tea Garden)


Golden Leaf is born from a simple question:
What happens when we choose only the sun-ripened, gold-tinged leaves of Lao Banzhang and let them tell their own story?

Huang Pian — “Golden Leaf” — is selected from the naturally yellow leaves found in Sheng Pu’er processing.
They are usually the 3rd or 4th leaf, thicker, calmer, and touched longer by sunlight.
We sort them by hand, keeping only those with that unmistakable golden glow.

These leaves don’t shout.
They offer a pure, steady sweetness, the kind that makes you double-check whether something so simple can really taste this clean.
And beneath that sweetness lies the quiet signature of Lao Banzhang — a warm, dense mouthfeel that lingers with a confidence of its own.

Each 8-gram ball is easy to brew anywhere.
Water after water, the sweetness keeps returning, unbothered, almost daring you to doubt its endurance.

Warm, sweet, and unmistakably Lao Banzhang — this is the Golden Leaf in its most honest form.

Highlights:

  • Hand-selected Lao Banzhang Huang Pian (3rd–4th leaves)

  • Naturally golden leaves with a pure, sweet profile

  • Smooth, warm, and long-lasting flavor unique to Lao Banzhang

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.
