Bangwei Ancient Tree Raw Pu-erh is naturally fermented tea from wild ancient tea trees. Teas made of leaves from ancient tea trees have higher mineral and polyphenol-antioxidant contents than those from younger trees. Some of its health benefits are:

✓ Regulates cholesterol
✓ Promotes healthy metabolism
✓ Promotes weight and fat loss
✓ Improves eyesight
✓ Improves focus and mental health

Western Brewing: Portion out 2-3 grams of tea for 12 fl oz water, and brew at 200-212°F for 3 minutes using your favorite infuser. Re-steep up to 3 times.

Gongfu Brewing: Portion out 3-5 grams of tea for 4 fl oz of water, and brew at 212°F for 30 seconds using a Gaiwan or a Yixing teapot. Re-steep 5+ times, each time increasing the brew time by 10-20 seconds.

All teas from the Camellia Sinensis tea plant contain naturally-occurring caffeine, and our Bangwei Ancient Tree Raw Pu-erh has medium-high caffeine content. If you want to lessen caffeine consumption, we recommend brewing with less tea or trying our naturally caffeine-free tisanes, such as Snow Chrysanthemum.

    Reminds me of the dark raw pu-erh I used to drink in China

    Before I met Ashley, I struggled to find a good source of raw pu-erh that matches the quality I used to get as gifts from China. I mostly drank ripe pu-erh because it was easier to find decent ripe pu-erh that is palatable. However, with raw pu-erh, decent quality is not enough. So I used to tell people that I like ripe pu-erh better.

    Then, I met Ashley. I’ve been placing my regular orders with Mansa Tea for a few years now. And I discover new favorites through Mansa. This Bangwei raw, for example, reminds me of the dark raw pu-erh I used to drink in China. It doesn’t get bitter even when I let it steep for longer. And it gives me just the right amount of energy I need to get through my day. It’s absolutely my new favorite!
