Type: Ripe Pu-erh (fermented) Grade: 3-6 Production area: Bada Mountain, Xishuangbanna Prefecture, Yunnan Province
Taste characteristics: This eleven-year-old ripe Pu-erh tea is harvested from ancient trees. The infusion is dark orange and is the perfect drink for a lazy afternoon or after a long day of work. The tea is not only very aromatic, it is possessed of a bouquet of complex flavors that is relaxing and satisfying and provides a long-lasting lychee aftertaste. This tea retains its flavors after multiple infusions better than most ripe Pu-erh teas.

Remarkable Tea09/06/2024 BySylvan Schneider This has to be in the top 3 best ripe pu erh teas I’ve tried. I’ve tried a few hundred ripe pu erh teas over the last 10 years and the flavor, aroma, and quality of this tea is unmatched. Without getting into taste and smell descriptions, this tea has a lovely aroma and excellent taste. This is what I’d call a holy grail pu erh that once you experience it, you’ll understand why people love and appreciate ripe pu erh. Definitely one of the best smelling teas I’ve had. I prefer longer steeps on ripe pu erh and this one does very well with long steeps or short steeps. Yes it’s expensive, but one of the few high end ripe pu erh teas that stands out and is worth the price. Our responseThank you so very much for the high praise. Yes, aged high quality ripe pu-erh offers a distinct experience from aged raw pu-erh. And yes, this tea is a very special one. So glad you enjoyed it.
Bada Mountain Ripe Pu-erh Tea 5g sample 12/05/2024 ByKaren W. H. Ordered Pu-erh tea 5g sample,after reading Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane. I found the quality of the tea sublime, it has an earthy taste and smell. I have auto-immune disease with fatigue and brain fog. I found the tea helped with my symptoms. It made me want to visit the tea's place of origin as I felt connected to the mountains as I drank it. Thanks so much for this fine product. Our responseGood tea connects with our bodies and minds. So glad to hear you had such a nice experience with this wonderful tea. Thank you for sharing.

Excellent quality tea10/27/2018 ByPeggy Schaub I feel the tea is of high quality, I wish I had known about this product years ago. Timely delivery and perfect minimal packaging for the tea cakes, thank you for a great product! Our responseThank you for the nice review. The Bada Mtn Ripe is one of my favorite ripe pu-erh.
Tea11/24/2023 ByCilicia J Philemon Good, but not quite as good as I expected. Also, I thought it would come shaped as a cake and wrapped in pretty paper, but it's just loose leaf in a plastic pouch. Our responseThank you for your review. The Bada Mountain is a cake that contains 300g of leaves. The one you bought was a 5g sample we broke out from the cake. We are sorry for the confusion.
Spoiled04/15/2019 ByChester Marshall I never knew tea could taste so good. The Ru-erh sample was way beyond expectations. Make sure you brew it according to the instructions. Our responseKeep spoiling yourself. It's a good thing!
Worth the $$$03/08/2024 ByRoberto Leme I just drank my first cup of this tea. I loved it and the service I always get from Bana Tea! I highly recommend! Our responseThank you for your kind words - we truly appreciate it. Glad we earned your trust and business.
