Ridgeline Tea Sampler

Six distinctive teas with greater depth and complexity, with an illustrated brochure providing brewing instructions and descriptions, in a reusable cotton pouch.

For those ready to take the next step on their Pu-erh tea journey, this sampler opens the door wide. These teas take familiar Pu-erh experiences and add complex flavors, captivating aromas, and the nuances of "cha qi" - tea energy and body-feel. This sampler is a great way to cultivate appreciation for quality Pu-erh teas.

The sampler consists of:

• Bana Limited Edition 2008 Raw Pu-erh - the original tea cake pressed to commemorate the founding of Bana Tea Company, now almost 20 years old.
• 18 Qing Bing 2018 Raw Pu-erh - from Tea Master Vesper Chan, to honor the legacy of the dry storage technique he pioneered in 1988. A great tea for experiencing cooling "gan".
  
• Forest Magic 2026 Raw Pu-erh - a nutty flavor yields to lingering sweetness in this Bana signature tea from Nannuo Mountain.
• Ginseng Scent 2005 Ripe Pu-erh - this is not a scented tea, but a tea that naturally carries the aroma of Chinese herbal medicine. This is a trait common in well aged ripe Pu-erh, as compared to the more familiar earthiness of younger tea.
• Elephant Hill 2019 Ripe Pu-erh - a full-bodied and full-flavored Pu-erh experience, from the famed Bulang tea region of Yunnan.
• Simple Pleasures 2012 Ripe Pu-erh - fermented tea from Lao Man'E village, made from ancient tea trees. Look for it's cooling sensation (gan) and calming energy (cha qi).
  

Each sample contains 8 grams (.28 oz) of tea leaves broken from our cakes and bricks. High quality Pu-erh tea leaves can be brewed over and over again without loosing flavor. Follow the brewing guidelines for each tea to brew without bitterness.
