Like fine French wine, Pu-erh improves with age. It makes a good heirloom that can be saved and savored on that special anniversary or birthday. Bana\'s founder, Linda Louie, named this tea for her grandson, Hunter, to commemorate him turning one year old. There\'s nothing more memorable than gifting him a special tea cake to celebrate his birthday and as a keepsake.

The leaves of this cake were picked from the old trees of my friend, Xiao Cao’s family tea garden in the high mountain of Mengsong. When first sampled this tea, I was impressed with its thickness and denseness. It possesses a pleasant aroma, complex flavors, and a quick and lasting hui gan (the cooling sensation in the mouth). Most notably is the qi (energy) that makes one feel very relaxed afterward. Every time I drink this tea, it brings smiles to my face. This tea is very pleasant to drink now, but it is anticipated to be an excellent tea in a few years.
