Took a leap and Bana caught me 03/02/2024
By Josh Hardin
Cheeky title aside, have only had the cakes from the starter kit on here. Years later started drinking tea again and ran out of those. With no idea other than having a budget, tried this cake. I’m not able to give you a description that will transport you to a simpler time from childhood, but this tea is good. Worth the money and time it took me to make that money. Bright flavors and leaves behind a cooling sensation. If you have a taste for raw puerh, chances are you’ll like it. Bana always takes care of me and I appreciate it!
Our responseI truly appreciate your kind feedback. Glad you are back to drinking tea again. Cheers.

Balanced 08/08/2024
By Tsuh
Wonderfully balanced tea. The aroma gives off a candy like sweetness right from the wash. Thick and silky mouthfeel with a very smooth finish. My favorite aspect of this tea is the very pleasant and fleeting bitterness followed by an immediate hui gan. Very hard to find a tea of this quality for the price. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future.
Our responseThank you so much for the wonderful feedback. We are glad that you pointed out the exceptional value of this award-winning raw pu-erh. We were attracted to it by its sweetness as well when we first drank it.

Savory sweet jelly candy. 05/28/2020
By Neal Perrin
The taste was a mystery the first four or five infusions. Then the last infusions kept getting sweeter and savory crisp clean. Reminded me of those sweet soft jelly candies one good tea.
Our responseI will look for the jelly candies flavor at the end. :) Thank you.
