Description

2011 Bang Wei Spring Raw 357g
Bang Wei tea is known for its mild, pleasant, easy to drink nature. It has a sweet grassy flavor, the tea liquor is clear and bright yellow, with an aroma of sticky rice and genmaicha. Located in Lancang province, a day’s drive from the nearest airport, Bang Wei is less visited than more famous tea producing areas like Lincang, Menghai, or Yiwu. This village has many excellent ancient tea trees, growing at 1,800m elevation, including a massive 1,700 year old tree that dominates the village. This tea develops depth as it ages.
