Ten Years of Banzhang Maturity
Made from ancient-tree tea leaves sourced from the core Banzhang tea region and aged for 10 years, this raw Pu-erh brings together the powerful structure of Banzhang material with the softer character developed through a decade of ageing. It offers a mature expression of Banzhang with honeyed sweetness, aged depth, and a warm, composed character.

Appearance
The cake is round, evenly proportioned, and moderately compressed, with a clearly defined central indentation. Thick, tightly formed tea strands are distributed evenly throughout the cake, with visible golden tips. The surface has developed a glossy dark brown appearance through ageing.

Aroma Tea Liquor
Once brewed, the tea produces a clear, bright golden liquor. Honey and mature aged aromas lead the profile, supported by warm woody notes, gentle aged herbal fragrance, and soft floral tones. The aromatics are settled and integrated, with the youthful grassy character of younger raw Pu-erh largely transformed by time.

Taste Finish
The liquor is rich, full-bodied, and smooth, with a soft yet substantial texture. Very light initial bitterness and astringency transform quickly into returning sweetness and steady salivation, revealing layers of honeyed sweetness and aged character.

The finish is warm and moist, with sweetness lingering in the mouth and throat alongside a persistent mature fragrance. The tea remains smooth and comfortable, with no harsh throat dryness and a subtle sense of Banzhang's mountain character.

The Fung Tea Documentary

A Legacy Crafted Through Time

Journey from Yunnan’s tea mountains to the people, places and traditions that have shaped Fung Tea for more than forty years. Discover the origins, craftsmanship and enduring values behind our story.

A Decade Preserved In Tea

Ten Years Of Time, Held In A Single Cake

10 years ago, this tea began with Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried maocha from Menghai, Xishuangbanna. What was pressed then cannot simply be recreated today. The original material, the hand of the maker, and a decade of uninterrupted transformation now exist together within a single 357g cake.

Over those ten years, the youthful force of raw Pu-erh has gradually settled into something more measured and complete. The fragrance has deepened, the liquor has gained weight and cohesion, and the returning sweetness has become more persistent. Yet beneath that maturity, the tea retains the energy and structure of its original leaf.

This is the appeal of genuinely aged Pu-erh: not age as a number, but ten years of change that can be experienced directly in the cup.

Rooted In Menghai Since 1983

Four Decades Of Experience Behind Its Making

The knowledge behind this tea reaches back to 1983, when the foundations of its maker’s relationship with Menghai Pu-erh were first established. From early work in tea production to decades spent understanding Yunnan leaf material, traditional processing, and the behavior of Pu-erh through time, more than forty years of practical experience precede this cake.

For a tea intended to age, the decisions made on the day of production are inseparable from what appears in the cup years later. Leaf selection, fixation, rolling, drying, compression, and storage all leave traces that time gradually reveals.

The value of this tea therefore lies not simply in ten years of storage, but in what was chosen and preserved before those ten years ever began.

Made With The Future In Mind

Traditional Craftsmanship That Allows The Leaf To Evolve

A tea destined for long aging must be made differently from one intended only for immediate drinking. The purpose is not to polish away every edge at the beginning, but to preserve enough substance, vitality, and structural integrity for the tea to continue developing over years.

Fresh leaves are carefully fixed to control enzymatic change while retaining their natural character. Rolling is measured rather than aggressive, opening the leaf sufficiently for extraction without destroying its structure. The material is then naturally sun-dried, preserving the distinctive qualities of Yunnan large-leaf tea and establishing the foundation from which later transformation can occur.

The craftsmanship is deliberately restrained. It does not attempt to overpower the material. It gives time something worthy of working with.

Ten Years Of Natural Transformation

A Decade Cannot Be Accelerated

There is no shortcut to the character of a tea that has lived through ten years of natural transformation.

Across that decade, the greener and more assertive qualities of young raw Pu-erh have gradually withdrawn. In their place comes a deeper and more settled aromatic profile, a smoother integration between tea and water, and a liquor that feels increasingly cohesive from the first sip through the finish.

Importantly, the tea has not aged into softness alone. Its underlying structure remains present, giving the liquor depth, movement, and persistence through successive infusions. Maturity has rounded the tea without erasing its identity.

What is tasted now is the result of an accumulation of small changes over thousands of days, none of which can be reproduced instantly.

The Cake Before The Water

Darkened By Time, Still Clearly Defined

The dry cake shows the visual maturity expected after a decade of aging. The leaves have developed deep brown and near-black tones with a subtle natural sheen, while individual strands and larger leaf structures remain clearly visible across the surface.

The compression is measured rather than excessive, allowing the material to retain definition and creating space for gradual, even transformation. Its appearance is clean and composed, with none of the visual heaviness that can obscure the character of the original leaf.

Before brewing, the cake already tells part of its story: mature in color, substantial in material, and unmistakably shaped by time.

Clarity After A Decade

Golden Amber With Depth Beneath The Light

The liquor pours a luminous golden amber, clear and bright despite the depth acquired through ten years of aging. It carries visual weight without cloudiness, revealing the balance between maturity and remaining vitality.

On the palate, the texture is smooth and cohesive, with the tea’s aged fragrance woven directly into the liquor rather than sitting separately above it. The cup feels broad and composed, yet never dull or heavy.

This balance is what gives the tea its elegance: the maturity of age is present, but so is the clarity and movement that keep each infusion alive.

What Remains After The Sip

Returning Sweetness With A Long, Expanding Finish

The tea does not reveal its full character at the point of entry. Much of its expression appears after the liquor has left the mouth.

A returning sweetness gradually rises from the palate and continues to develop, accompanied by sustained salivation and a clean, lingering sensation through the throat. With successive infusions, the liquor gains presence and the finish becomes increasingly expansive, allowing the deeper character of the material to emerge.

There is little sense of abruptness between one infusion and the next. Instead, the session unfolds as a continuum, with sweetness, aroma, and structure carrying forward from cup to cup.

It is a tea that asks to be followed, not simply tasted once.

The Leaf After The Session

Ten Years Later, The Structure Remains

At the end of the session, the infused leaves offer perhaps the most direct view of the material itself. They open fully, remaining supple, substantial, and clearly structured, with visible veins and a natural sheen across the leaf surface.

Despite a decade of transformation, the leaves retain flexibility and presence rather than appearing exhausted or brittle. Their condition reflects both the original material and the restraint exercised during processing.

The brewed leaf completes the story of the tea: what began with strong Yunnan large-leaf material has matured over ten years while preserving the physical integrity and vitality that allow it to continue performing through repeated infusions.

A Tea That Carries Its Own Time

For The Collector Who Values What Cannot Be Repeated

A ten-year aged Pu-erh is not valuable simply because ten years have passed. Its significance lies in the fact that the original material, the craftsmanship of its production, and the exact course of its maturation belong to a moment that cannot be reproduced once it has passed.

Presented in collector-grade packaging, this tea may be opened now to experience the maturity it has already achieved, or retained as part of a serious Pu-erh collection as its development continues.

As a gift, it carries a meaning that extends beyond luxury presentation. It offers something inherently finite: ten years already lived, preserved in tea and ready to be shared.

For those who understand aged Pu-erh, that passage of time is not decoration around the product.
