Autumn Bulang

This Sheng Puerh unfolds with an engaging aroma of hay, alfalfa, and sweet grass. It offers a graceful floral finish and a pronounced sweet aftertaste, all harmoniously balanced by a mild underlying b. It leans grassy, floral and sweet.

Water around 95–100 °C (203–212 °F). In a mug, steep 3–5 min. For gongfu, use 5–7 g per 100 ml, 10–20 s steeps (10–20+ rounds). You'll get to see how the flavor changes across multiple rounds. Rinse the leaves once with boiling water before your first real steep. It cleans off storage dust and gets the flavor going.

Grown in Yunnan, China. This batch is from the Autumn 2017 harvest.

Starts at $5.99 from Crimson Lotus Tea, or about $0.18/g. A 20g package gets you around 3 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.08 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
