Prestige Chinese Pu-erh tea, pressed and aged for 12 years—Prestige Banzhang Pu-erh (Ripe/Shu). Produced in 2014. GF BAN ZHANG WEI Pu-erh Cake (Ripe/Shu), 12 years old, 2014, 100g.
BAN ZHANG WEI Pu-erh tea is crafted from ancient tea trees on Banzhang Mountain, located at an altitude of 1,600 meters in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province. This region and its climate are the primary source of the ancient, traditional recipes used to produce Pu-erh tea. Pu-erh teas from this area are among the most prestigious in China.
Large leaves and downy buds give the tea a smooth, velvety, and deep flavor that persists through multiple steepings. The aftertaste features a foundational note of chocolate and wood, with subtle hints of distant flowers, spices, and forest mushrooms. It possesses an intense aroma characterized by woody and peaty notes, with a faint touch of smoke.
The tea bud (tip) is the most valuable and costly part of the *Camellia sinensis* tea plant. Buds are the exclusive source of the amino acid L-theanine, which supports normal mental function. Teas containing buds are richer in antioxidants and lower in caffeine.
Packaged in special Pu-erh paper. A great gift idea!

Pu-erh is the only type of tea that undergoes a double fermentation process. Following this, the tea is left to mature naturally. Its value increases with the length of the aging period (in years).
To separate the leaves of pressed Pu-erh tea without breaking them, a special knife (or awl) is required. If the leaves are broken, the tea will taste more bitter. The practice of pressing Pu-erh tea originated in ancient China, when travel costs were very high; pressed Pu-erh takes up less space, making it easier to transport and store.
Pu-erh tea possesses unique properties. To experience its benefits, it should be consumed once a day for at least 3 months, alongside a balanced diet and regular physical activity. In China, Pu-erh is even known by the nickname "Fat Killer." The substances found in the tea help to:
1) stimulate the secretion of enzymes in the stomach that act upon consumed food. For this reason, it is recommended to consume Pu-erh tea half an hour after a meal. If consumed before a meal, it may create a sensation of emptiness in the stomach, which could lead to overeating;
2) activate processes that break down subcutaneous fat layers—specifically those the body has not yet managed to process on its own. When high-calorie food is consumed, a thin layer of white fat forms under the skin. During physical activity, the body undergoes processes that "burn" or break down this white fat; the substances in the tea help to enhance this process during physical exertion;
3) normalize gastrointestinal function and facilitate the elimination of food that is difficult to digest, ensuring waste is of a normal consistency. This is particularly helpful if you experience a heavy, uncomfortable feeling in your stomach after a large meal—a common occurrence during major holidays;
4) reduce levels of "bad" cholesterol in the body (as a preventative measure);
5) restore vitality and energy levels following strenuous physical activity or exercise;
6) alleviate discomfort during a hangover. If you drink Pu-erh tea in the company of friends, your mood and interaction will improve within an hour.The qualities listed above will be noticeable if the Pu-erh tea takes effect on your body. Since every individual's body is different, the effects may vary.
