Banzhang

In the Bulang Mountains lies the province of Banzhang at the altitude of 1500 metres where ideal conditions for the growth of a tea tree exist. Micro climate is such that the tea Bazhanga has become the best cold-fermented tea in the world. The members of the ethnic minority of Lahu live in the local rain forest in remote villages. Otherwise the word lahu means "hunter of tigers." For them the rainforest is their sacred forest and harmful hunting, harvesting or fire-raising are not allowed here. Whosoever broke this law of harmony in sacred forests was severely punished. He was bewitched by a sorceress and then he went crazy. Thus here is still a protected primeval forest with the oldest tea tree, approximately 1700 years old. In this region, where a crossing is impossible during the rainy season, TianZi is developing its own biological area where the fauna and flora are protected and tea trees and herbs are harmoniously aligned. It surprises with a very strong and active energy chi (qi).
