This all-natural tea not only serves as a delightful beverage but also as a sophisticated gift, enhancing its value with age and complexity. ## Description Sometime during China's Tang Dynasty, about 1300 years ago, it was noticed that broad leaf teas transported from Yunnan Province (along what is known as the "Tea Horse Road") to China's then capital city, Chang'an, Tibet and other destinations, underwent a unique transformation during the long journeys. The taste of the brew from these tea leaves actually became smoother and more distinctive. This tea, known as Pu-erh tea, became highly sought-after by the Tang Court, the literati and the nobility. Pu-erh tea came to be known as the "King of Tea" for good reason. High quality Pu-erh is still in great demand by tea connoisseurs and is one of the few teas that, like wine, improves and becomes smoother over time. Although the price of premium Pu-erh reflects the high quality of the tea, drinking Pu-erh tea can have an economical side too; A portion may be brewed over and over again (from 10 to 15 times). For each subsequent brewing, just infuse the tea for a little longer. Bana Tea Company's Limited Edition 2008 Vintage tea cake is made from grade one premium quality tea leaves harvested from 100 to 400-year old tea trees from China's Yunnan Province. The very high quality of these tea cakes make them perfect for aging. The brewed tea is a peach-yellow color and presents a crisp delicate dried apricot flavor. The aroma of the tea is both refreshing and stimulating. This tea is best consumed in the morning or with a meal. This is a "raw" Pu-erh, which is to be contrasted with "ripe" Pu-erh that is fermented artificially. The tea cake comes in a beautiful ribboned gold-accented container and makes a very impressive and proud gift for all occasions. This 200 gram tea, perfect for storage and aging, comes with brewing and storage suggestions. ## Features - This is "raw" Pu-erh made from grade one (the highest grade) premium broad tea leaves from the very first Spring harvest. - Comes in a beautiful container that serves both as a distinctive gift box and as a perfect storage container for aging the tea. - Pu-erh tea, much like wine, improves with age. Its flavor becomes more mellow and complex with time. - Having "aged" since 2008, this tea has developed the "hui gan" (a returning bittersweet sensation) that coats the mouth & throat. It also has developed a balanced and comfortable "qi" (inner energy). - Tea leaves are 100% harvested from 100 to 400 year-old tea trees from China's Yunnan Province. In other words, this tea has not been blended with leaves from younger trees. ## Product Details - **Brand:** Bana Tea - **Item Form:** Loose Leaves - **Flavor:** Puer - **Tea Variety:** Yellow - **Unit Count:** 200 Grams ## Images ![Bana Tea Company Limited Edition Premium Raw Pu-erh (Puer, Puerh) Tea Cake - 2008 Vintage, Early Spring Harvest (200 Grams) - All Natural - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41U-Jan4+AL.jpg) ![Bana Tea Company Limited Edition Premium Raw Pu-erh (Puer, Puerh) Tea Cake - 2008 Vintage, Early Spring Harvest (200 Grams) - All Natural - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81XfEqW1AmL.jpg) ![Bana Tea Company Limited Edition Premium Raw Pu-erh (Puer, Puerh) Tea Cake - 2008 Vintage, Early Spring Harvest (200 Grams) - All Natural - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BzBABlRXL.jpg) ![Bana Tea Company Limited Edition Premium Raw Pu-erh (Puer, Puerh) Tea Cake - 2008 Vintage, Early Spring Harvest (200 Grams) - All Natural - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31rBAN7sQtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Love the company, did not love the tea *by M***Y on February 13, 2015* Shipping was excellent. I am familiar with this variety of pu-erh tea, but i did not enjoy this specific variety. I am definitly not a connoisseur, but Teavana (?) pu-erh tea tasted better, which is rare for me to say. Ill happily try the company again, but this specific tea was not worth ithe price. Disappointed with brand of tea; not with the company. I plan on buying from them again, but company needs to better price flavor vs price. This was not $40 +/- tea. Ill give 2 stars because I enjoyed company's shipping. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice tea. *by E***. on March 23, 2014* It's very potent, doesn't take much to make a nice pot of tea. There are may sites that give nice recommendation on how to maximize your enjoyment of the tea. Read up and follow what makes sense for your taste. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Refreshing and calming tea in a nice gift box *by D***Y on December 28, 2011* This is my second purchase of the Bana Tea Company Limited Edition Premium Raw 2008 Tea Cake. I'm enjoying the first one so much (bought directly from Linda Louie at the L.A. Tea Festival) that I bought this second one as a gift. I might buy another and stash it to experience how it ages.A previous review said that this tastes like green tea. Yes, a very refreshing green tea, which is what raw Puer is, I believe. This particular tea tastes slightly fruity rather than just "green", and the flavors stand up to repeated brewing: 9 or 10 (small, Chinese) cups. It's great as iced tea, too. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/9332201-bana-tea-company-limited-edition-premium-raw-pu-erh-puer](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/9332201-bana-tea-company-limited-edition-premium-raw-pu-erh-puer) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-11-14*
