The Legendary Banzhang
Banzhang is not just a village, but an entire region renowned for its tea trees, some of which are hundreds of years old. Banzhang comprises five villages: Baqalun, Bakanan, Laoman'e, Xinbanzhang, and Laobanzhang. It is here that the tea bushes that produce the legendary pu'erh tea grow.
- Laobanzhang is the oldest and most famous village. The tea trees here have a distinctive aroma and flavor.
- Xinbanzhang is a young village, but the tea bushes here have already gained recognition for their high quality.
- Laoman'e is a village famous for its large-leaf tea bushes.
- Bakalun and Bakanan – these villages also contribute to the creation of Banzhang’s unique blend.

Traveling through the tea mountains, we found ourselves in another land of blue roofs - the village of Zhongcai, which is located in the Menghai district of Yunnan province. According to tradition, we were shown another local tea tree, which, according to the Chinese, is at least a million years old :) The village is very authentic, not designed for tourists, there are many wild pu-erhs there and, of course, we were warmly received. They treated us to local cuisine and tea. We also asked the residents about the prices of tea and how they have changed in recent years.
The tea ceremony holds a special place in the centuries-old Eastern tradition. While its essence remains constant, the nature and external manifestations of the tea ceremony vary among different cultures. Each Chinese province has its own distinct tea ceremony and tea used: for example, residents of the southern provinces prefer green tea, while those in the northern provinces prefer red tea. Oolong tea is more commonly used in Fujian Province, while Pu'er tea is widely known in Yunnan Province.
В нашем ассортименте пуэров широко представлена линейка завода "Кайшуньхао". Мы познакомились с владельцем во время одного из путешествий в Китай. Это было время, когда мы открывали новые горизонты для сотрудничества основываясь на качестве и адекватной цене! Так кто же такие эти увлеченные своим делом люди?)
