This one offers a balanced Menghai taste, somewhat similar to Pasha, but with a softer texture. Bitterness is present, but well encapsulated in a thick and sweet soup.

The area seems to have a soil well-suited for puerh tea cultivation. It is populated with many famous tea mountains, from Hekai in the North, to Lao Man E in the South, and at the core of it, the village of Lao Banzhang. All the teas there are powerful, but they feature noticeable variations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eBa Ka Noy is a small Lahu village located in the South-West, in its ancient tea gardens lay a good amount of massive trees, which produce a particularly sweet tea with a cooling aftertaste. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"ba ka noy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopifycdn.net\/s\/files\/1\/1318\/5761\/files\/BaKaNoy_1024x1024.jpg?v=1689173821\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height: 100%; margin-bottom: 0cm;\"\u003eThis is a tea that’s often sold labelled as Lao Banzhang, due to the proximity to the famous village, and a certain equivalence in terms of overall power.
