Taste characteristics: This is another great tea produced by Denong Tea Factory. Broken from compressed tea cakes, this ripe Pu-erh is thick, brothy and savory. It finishes with a cooling sensation in your mouth that is similar to that left after having drunk Ginseng soup. The chest warming sensation is pleasant and relaxing. An excellent quality ripe Pu-erh for a great price! Bana Tea Company is proud to be able to offer it to Pu-erh ethusiasts.

Love this tea!

By Leslie Wolff
The Ginseng Scent Ripe Pu-erh tea was the first one that I ordered from Bana a few years ago, and it is still a comforting favorite, especially during this uncertain time. I love the mouth feel from this tea. Thank you Linda for bringing us such great tea selections!

Love this tea!

By Olivia Oldaker
One of my favorite tea I purchase on this site. It's true to its description. And Denong always produces some excellent tea!
This tea is good for rainy days or when not feeling well--it's great medicine. Good for gongfu or simply made in a thermos for the road.

My favorite

By Patrice Parrish
There was a sample of this tea in one of my orders in the winter and when I tried it my thought was and continues to be, This is Real Tea, or what my concept of the perfect cup of tea should be. I ordered it and finished it within a few weeks so now I’ve ordered several packages. I absolutely love it and the flavor remains true.

Thank you, Patrice, for your kind review and endorsement. Thank you also for your new order of this tea!
