Double Happiness 07/08/2024
By Dariel Garner
It started as a sample. Then it became the first brick, then two , then five, next 7 bricks...
Know I have to consider how many to buy to create years of drinking as this tea ages and naturally matures from something special to miraculous.

Our responseSo glad to hear that. This tea is well-stocked so you don't need to worry about it running out anytime soon. :)

Only Regret not buying more 03/02/2024
By Josh Hardin
Bought the starter kit from here many years ago. Just recently brought it back out and started drinking tea again. This was one of the cakes and it aged well. Just got a fresh cake in and could tell there were subtle differences. However, I enjoy the warm flavors and scents this tea creates. Only wish I could justify buying a sleeve of them to have plenty for daily and a few to age. Bana you always take care of your clients and I’d admire the execution of your business.
Our responseThank you for the kind words. We are glad we've earned your trust and business.

I love it 08/23/2023
By Karri Smith
This has to be one of my favorites. I've tried different ripe pu erhs, many that were SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive than this, but I really love this one. I'm not a professional taster and can't talk about mouth feel or tasting notes. All I can say is that this tea is not too sweet, not too bitter. It's just a solid tea.
Our responseWe are thrilled to hear you have found your "perfect tea." Thank you for taking the time to write us a review. We truly appreciate it.

Pu-erh Tea 07/14/2023
By Martha Carrico
The packaging is so beautiful that I don't want to open it. I'm going to order another to serve at my book group. We loved The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane.
Our responseThank you for your kind words. Look forward to hearing from you again.

Health Benefits 05/01/2023
By Oleeta
I love Bana Tea Company. I learned about these teas from reading Lisa See’s Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane. What a wonderful book. I am trying the ripe Pu-erh in hopes of lowering my Cholesterol and Blood Sugar levels. Neither are terrible but they are over the marks. I’ll let y’all know. This tea is a smooth full bodied tea that tastes of cherries. Tonight I got some wood flavors but no chocolate yet. I’ll have to keep drinking it, which I am happy to do!
Our responseWelcome to the world of pu-erh tea and thank you so much for taking the time to write the review. The Taste of Menghai is one of our very popular ripe pu-erh.
