Bulang

This aged Bulang Raw Pu-erh from 2011 offers a robust and earthy profile, with deep mineral undertones. Expect a strong, lingering cha qi and a complex character that continues to evolve with each ste. It leans earthy, bold and mineral.

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 2011 harvest.

Starts at $12.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.13/g. A 100g package gets you around 17 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $0.78 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
