Spring 2026 Ban Shan Gushu

size

Big trees from the top of Ban Shan. 

Soft and sweet, excellent mouthfeel and Huigan


 

This is an area we recently discovered. Located only two valleys away from Pu'er City,  some ancient tea gardens lie on the top of Ban Shan, at an altitude of 1900m. The tea trees are covered in moss and lichen, which hints at a particularly humid microclimate on that mountain top. 

This tea has a unique tasting profile, it is on the soft side. Understated fragrance, hints of smoke in the early infusions, silky texture, deep Huigan and good endurance. This is a great tea for both beginners and seasoned drinkers, drinkable gongfu and grandpa-style.
