Our Raw Pu-erh Tea Sampler is a terrific value at only $33.00 plus shipping. We designed this beautifully packaged set to help tea connoisseurs discover the diverse flavors of Bana's raw Pu-erh teas.

The packaging is suitable to present as a gift with a sheer organza sack tied with a satin ribbon. Also included in the sack is a mini brochure with descriptions of each tea as well as brewing instructions for the best results. This sampler makes a great gift, especially coupled with one of our brewing accessories.

Bulang Old Tree (Raw pu-erh - 2021 vintage)
This raw pu-erh is made from large arbor tea trees, resulting in a tea that offers rich and layered flavors. Not only is it remarkably smooth and full-boidied, but it is also durable and has a delightful sweet finish.

Made with early spring leaves from arbor trees, this tea is full-bodied, well-balanced, and smooth.

Jinggu Bulang Raw Pu-erh (Raw pu-erh - 2010 vintage)

Yu Le is made from trees in an old-growth tea garden owned by Denong Tea Company. It is balanced, fragrant, and finishes with a pleasant coolness in your mouth.

Great Sampler Pack for Finding Raw Pu'er Teas That You Like 05/22/2021
By Sara K.
I spent over a month sampling these teas at my own pace. My obvious favorite is the Bana Limited Edition 2008, it really opened my eyes (tastebuds?) to what raw pu'er can be (note: I'm new to pu'er teas in general). I also liked the Jinggu Bulang, Mengsong Spring, and the Mengsong Autumn, especially the Mengsong Autumn. The Little Bingdao 2017 reminded me of the flavor of tea brewed from camellia japonica (a species closely related to camellia sinensis). I was disappointed by the Speechless Eurphoria the first time, but liked it better the second time, so it's a good thing this sampler pack has 8g of each type, enough for two separate tastings. The Blank Label 2004 is okay, but I'll probably never buy it. In addition to this sampler, Bana added a few other complimentary tea samples, so that was a nice bonus.
Our responseThank you so much for the thoughtful review. The idea of the sampler is to allow you to sample and compare each tea in different settings over time.

Great Way To Experience New Puer Teas 07/25/2024
By DAN SCHNEIDER
I am a longtime Puer tea drinker. My main complaint about shopping for new Teas is that I don't want to buy a whole cake. Bana Tea's Puer Samplers are great! I get to try new teas without buying a whole cake and there is a good variety of teas to sample. I like cooked puer's in winter and raw puer's in the summer. The samplers allow me buy just the right amount to get me through each season.
Our responseGlad to hear our samplers suit your needs. Pu-erh has so many varieties with varied flavors. The idea of the samplers is to allow our customers to try them for an affordable price. Thanks for pointing it out in your review.

Open my eyes 12/26/2019
By Newby White Guy
Went to a festival to open my eyes to Rae Pr-erh. Came away wishing to try so many different ones. One of them was the banh collection. Great mix of old and new. Strong and not so strong. Fruity and earthy. F Good spectrum to taste. My top three were Bana limited edition 2008, Handsome spring leaf and Speechless Euphoria Raw Pu-erh Tea 2015. Good introductory collection
Our responseThank you for visiting our booth at the tea festival. Hope to see you again next year.

Highlight of the Spring 05/21/2020
By Polly Lehtonen
After reading The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, we had to try Pu-erh. I ordered 3 sampler packs and we are slowly savoring each sample, taking notes and identifying the flavor subtleties of each one. Once we settle on a few favorites, we will re-order those. The packaging is beautiful. This has been a great experience from the otherwise dreary months of quarantine.
Our responseThank you for your kind words and we are glad to hear you are having a great experience.

An Exceptional Gift 08/08/2024

Satisfying 09/12/2019
By Joan Powers
I bought the raw sampler along with the ripe pu'er.
The samples included in the variety pack are really good.
It's hard to make a determination as to which tea I would like to buy more of. Again, I might have to order the samlers again. Wonderful variety and flavors.

Our responseTake your time to try and really understand this tea.

Great tea 07/31/2024
By Catherine S
I am still in the process of trying all the samples, but have thoroughly enjoyed the ones I have tried. Not knowing much about this kind of tea, I wanted to try the samples before getting larger quantities. I like the basic descriptions of each tea that are included. Thank you!
Our responseWelcome to the world of pu-erh. Learning about the different varieties of pu-erh can be a life-long obsession. Hope you will enjoy the journey.

Intro to Pu-erh tea 10/29/2018
By Judith Pasco
After reading "The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane", I was inspired to try this tea. The sampler pack was perfect for that and I am enjoying making my way through the various teas.

Puer Samples 08/12/2024
By Lynette Grossenbacher
What a beautiful presentation! My husband and I are enjoying a different tea daily and making notes in our notebook. We have already ordered more tea!!!
Our responseHow fun! Taking notes is a very good way to sample pu-erh tea because you can taste the same tea a year later and be able to mark the tea's changes.

So delicious! 04/03/2019
By Elisabeth Seldes
