Details A raw pu erh developed and blended by perhaps the single most reputable person in the industry: Zou Bing Liang. Formerly co-founder of Menghai Tea Factory and today founder and CEO of the Haiwan Tea Factory. Made from top-grade Ming Qian leaves of Gelanghe, Bulang, Lincang and Jinggu mountain and 100% traditionally processed. Pu Erh Master Mr. Zou Bing Liang () This premium-grade tea cake was elaborately developed and blended by Zou Bing Liang, the Haiwan Tea founder himself. He is awarded and recognized by the industry as the Master of Lifelong Achievement of Chinese Pu Erh Tea. Zou dedicated his whole life to the pu erh industry, contributing to the post-war revival, innovation, and even the development of the wet-piling method (to produce ripe pu erh). He may be the single most respected individual of today’s professional pu erh circles. Zou first earned his reputation as the co-founder of the prestigious Dayi tea brand (Menghai Tea Factory). After leading the Menghai Tea Factory for more than two decades, he went on his own and started the Haiwan Tea Factory. Overseeing the development and production of Haiwan products, Zou has built a reputable brand, of which its quality is recognized industry wide.

The name of the series cleverly used the character Liang (), which represents the last character of its creator’s name (Zou Bing Liang). In addition, Liang in Chinese also means good in quality.
