2006 Xi Zi Hao Lao Ban Zhang Yin (White Wrapper) 7g

Highlights:

• Legendary XZH Lao Ban Zhang
• Often-talked-about example of a boutique LBZ production

Market price of this cake is about $2000 ($4500 directly from Sanhetang).

I purchased 50 grams from a kind friend (pictures are also his) to offer it to other people who, like me, are interested to see what the fuss about this tea is about.

We concluded this 2005 Lao ban zhang tea is about the same quality, and at a fraction of the price.
