Vendor Notes
This 2022 Imperial Grade Shou Pu-erh, crafted entirely from tea buds, brews quickly to a dark liquor. It offers a profile rich with strong mineral notes, balanced by a characteristic Bulang bitterness and astringency. While the initial 8 steeps are particularly vibrant, the tea gracefully transitions to a delightful sweetness in later infusions.
