Spring Bulang

This Sheng Pu-erh presents a thick, viscous liquor with a gentle character, offering minimal bitterness or astringency. Its nuanced flavor and inviting aroma lead to a satisfying aftertaste and a dist. It leans earthy, smooth and energetic.

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 Spring 2019 harvest.

Starts at $79.99 from Crimson Lotus Tea, or about $0.80/g. A 100g package gets you around 17 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $4.80 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
