Great tea 03/28/2025
By Johnt3
I am very pleased with this tea. It is thick with a balanced sweetness, a unique and delightful fruit/berry undertone, and refreshing huigan. It is also very comfortable in the body, more so than most ripes I've tasted, which is consistent with premium ancient tea tree leaves. Certainly a tea that I would recommend to ripe puer enthusiasts looking for a premium tea to breakout when they want the good stuff.
Our responseThe highest quality in pu-erh teas are those made from old trees. As you described, you can appreciate it with your body as well as your palate. Thank you for your kind review.

Love this tea 07/04/2023
By snap shiver
Bana has definitely spoiled me. I never knew Tea could taste so good. All the different types of tea I've bought from Bana have been Superb and this is another good one.
Someone mention a fishy oder. The way to get rid of it is to dump the first brew out and rinse the leaves afterwards. The smell comes from the fermenting process not fish.

Our responseThank you so much for your kind words and quality endorsement - it means a lot to us.

Good Tea 07/01/2023
By snap shiver
Unfortunately or maybe fortunately, Bana has spoiled me. I can never go back to drinking the tea I used to drink. My experience with this tea has taught me what really good tea is supposed to taste like.
Our responseYou nailed it. The tea journey is a one-way street. Once you know what is good, it is hard to go back to the not-so-good. :)

Rich flavor 07/18/2021
By Sara K.
This tea has a bold, complex flavor (I almost want to describe it as having a 'metallic tang' but that sounds bad and I don't mean that in a bad way). It smooths out after a few brews into a less complex, more soothing flavor. I like that the flavor changes so much over the brews, it adds variety. I can tell that I need to drink this tea more to fully appreciate it.
Our responseThank you for your nice review and high mark.

Novice 08/22/2020
By Mary
I am a novice and this is my first pu-era tea! I almost expected it to be unpleasant because of what someone had told me about their experience. So imagine my surprise when I fell in love! I loved this bold, earthy taste and the smell is a whole separate thing. I am very happy with my first choice!
Our responsePu-erh comes in a range of qualities. We are so glad you were pleasantly surprised with the quality of our tea.

This tea is aptly and elegantly named. It enchants you and entices you. It’s one of the best tasting Shou puerh teas. Clean, malty, deep and complex. Can’t go wrong with this !
Our responseThank you, John, for the nice review--it speaks a thousand words.

My Favorite Tea So Far! 01/08/2020
By Shelley Oram
Enchantment is the word for this delicious tea! It is full bodied yet delicately flavored with complex undertones. The rich lingering after taste doubles the enjoyment. Just the aroma of this deep red tea makes me swoon. I look forward to this tea all day!
Our responseI let Master Chan know about your comments. He was very pleased.
