This is a premium blend that we've named "Ba Wang" 霸王, which means something like "Badass King." "Ba Wang" is a sort of neo-classical pu-erh tea cake title. After all, imitation can be the highest form of flattery! Although there are many cakes called "Ba Wang," I think you'll agree ours is among the best!

Composed of tea from 6 different villages (Menghai, Simao, and Lincang), this cake is bitter, sweet and chocolatey with warm cha qi, thick body and a long-lasting mouthfeel. We think you'll enjoy this tea and consider it worthy of adding to your collection for aging.
