The characteristics of the 2004 Banzhang include robust leaves, a rich and full-bodied taste, a sweet and satisfying flavor, and a lasting sweetness that brings saliva to the mouth. The bitterness of Banzhang dissipates quickly, transforming into a powerful aftertaste that stimulates the cheeks and creates a sensation like spring water at the bottom of the tongue.
This collectible version was produced in 2004 and, after years of storage, its internal chemical components and flavor characteristics have undergone full fermentation and evolution, resulting in a more concentrated and fragrant taste, with a purer and clearer tea.
The "Laotongzhi 04 Banzhang" is a Pu-erh tea with a deep historical background and unique flavor. This 2004 Banzhang was the first in the Haiwan Tea Industry's famous ancient tree series, at a time when the concept of famous ancient trees in the Pu-erh market was still in its infancy, and the Banzhang tea area's reputation was far from what it is today. With its distinctive taste and aroma, this tea has become a gem among Pu-erh teas, showcasing Mr. Bingliang Zou's profound understanding of Pu-erh tea techniques and his exceptional skills.
