Excellent value, high quality sheng, fast processing

By Robert Mitchell
Shipping was lightening fast! Very happy that I was able to enjoy this sheng as quickly as I could. Not only is this cake an amazing value--it's also very high quality. These entry level Vesper Chan cakes are great for daily drinking and I've been enjoying this one often! Highly recommended!

Great way to start the day. This is what I reach for when I need my young sheng fix. Balanced and bitter with a nice clean qi.

Raw Bulang

By Thomas Facey
I love the raw Bulang tea from BANA Tea Company. It took a week to process my order, but other than that, my experience was positive and I will order more tea from them.

Thank you for your kind review and glad to hear you enjoy the Bulang Mini Raw Cake. Let me apologize again for the delay in filling your order as I was out-of-the-country at that time.

Great Value for the Price

By Sara K.
Smooth, good tea flavor. It holds up well through many brews. It reminds me of the high mountain green teas of Taiwan. At this price, it's a great choice for daily drinking.

Buy a whole tong

By Joshua Hardin
Not there yet but one day, plan is to buy two. One for now and one to set aside to age. These are good to go the day they land though. Bright fresh taste and good kick of caffeine, which is what I’m going for. Don’t get the water too hot for this one does better around 170F for me. Would recommend to a friend.
Our Response:

Thank you for such a nice review. You're right - the cooling water brings out more sweet from the tea.

Shows great promise

By William Frank Curtis JR
This tea seems to have some subtle notes that should develop into something special in time.
Our Response:

Agree. This tea is 11- years-old. It will continue to get more complex and has more depth in time. Thank you for your review.
