Sweet Rice Scent Ripe Pu-erh Tea 10/15/2020
By Kimberly Valerio
My brother gave me a sample of this tea and I couldn't wait to order more of my own! It is so smooth and the scent of sweet rice is intoxicating. I use only half a coin and get numerous steeps from that half coin. I also cannot say enough good things about the customer service at Bana Teas. I reached out to them regarding an existing order and received a reply immediately. These are fantastic quality teas and their customer service is top notch.
Our responseSo grateful for your glowing review. We are so glad we have earned your trust.

Fantastic 01/13/2021
By Chris Wales
Sublime. I'm a raw pu-erh fan, but employing a lighter brewing technique with this little gem makes a for a very enjoyable experience. The aroma is instantly calming, the mouthfeel is gentle, and the taste is simultaneously rich and light. It's like a savory dessert.
Our responseI am a raw pu-erh fan too, but I like this tea for the reasons you described in your review. Thank you.
