Created as a commemorative release for the Year of the Dragon, “Yuelongmen” 躍龍門 draws on the dragon’s symbolism of strength, ambition, auspicious fortune, and upward momentum. The name, meaning “Leaping Through the Dragon Gate,” evokes transformation and advancement, bringing together the bold personality of Banzhang tea with the spirit of the Dragon zodiac in a substantial and expressive tea made for both drinking and ageing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cake is round, evenly proportioned, and moderately compressed, with a clearly defined central indentation. Thick tea strands, complete buds, and intact leaves are distributed throughout the cake, with abundant silvery tips visible across the surface. Deep green and brown tones naturally interweave, reflecting both the vitality of the raw material and the beginning of early transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAroma \u0026amp; Tea Liquor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnce brewed, the tea produces a clear, bright golden liquor. Honey aroma rises first, followed by elegant orchid notes, gentle woody fragrance, and a subtle fruit-like sweetness in the background. The aromatic profile is lifted and refined, with honey and floral notes at the forefront, while the light woody tone adds depth and suggests the tea’s early maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaste \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe liquor is rich, thick, and full-bodied, opening with the hallmark bitterness of Banzhang tea accompanied by a light astringency. This strength does not feel harsh or constricting, but instead transforms quickly into pronounced returning sweetness and steady salivation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the session develops, the tea becomes sweeter and rounder, while its dense texture and strong tea energy remain present. A deep throat sensation gradually emerges, accompanied by a clear cooling feeling and sweet moisture in the throat. The finish is long, layered, and lingering, with enduring sweetness and a subtle fruit-toned aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMenghai (勐海), Yunnan (雲南), China\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Region:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fungtea.com\/blogs\/articles\/lao-banzhang-the-mountain-character-behind-exceptional-pu-erh\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eBanzhang Tea Region (班章核心茶區)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAltitude:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eApproximately 1,800+ Meters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTree Age:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver 100 Years Old\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAged For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3–5 Years\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvest Season:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFirst-Spring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTea Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAncient-Tree Tea Leaves\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fung Tea","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49667568730264,"sku":null,"price":530.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/1425\/9096\/files\/1_49e6fdd8-cdc8-4265-ab6f-73de02a3fd2a.jpg?v=1786396375","url":"https:\/\/fungtea.com\/products\/yuelongmen-banzhang-raw-pu-erh","provider":"Fung Tea","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
