The "Old Ban Zhang - San Pa" Ripe Puerh is a collector’s cake from 2008, crafted from premium big-leaf raw material from the Menghai region. The "San Pa" (三爬) label is historically associated with authenticity guarantees for tea from the legendary Ban Zhang village. After 18 years of natural aging, this tea has reached its peak maturity.

Flavor Profile (18 Years of Aging): Time has completely smoothed out the fermentation notes, leaving behind the noble Chen Xiang (aged scent). The infusion is dense and oil-like, with a buttery texture. The bouquet is dominated by notes of aged wood, jujubes, damp bark, and a subtle medicinal undertone. The taste is sweet and enveloping, with zero astringency.

Storage Quality: This tea has been kept in ideal dry-storage conditions, allowing it to preserve its clean aroma and profound depth. It is the perfect Ripe Puerh for those seeking solid vintage quality and a powerful warming effect (Cha Qi).
