As Puer tea has become a more sought after tea, and people's understanding of it deepens, and with that the cost of tea has risen it has become of interest to make teas in small quantities that come from select single trees from within an ancient tea tree garden, either singly or as a few trees together. These 100g cakes are all from a handful of the biggest trees from which Bi Run Xuan's Ban Po Lao Zhai tea comes from. The trees are numbered and here I am offering teas No 3, 6 and 7. No 3 is actually three trees that are very close together and so have been picked together. Any one tree may yield between four to six or seven kilos of fresh leaves - enough to make 1 or at most 2 kilos of dried tea.

The teas are all broadly similar to the Ban Po tea from the same tea garden, but there are also differences which for a tea drinker exploring the world of Puer, may be interesting.
