Bulang

This young raw Pu-erh from the Hekai mountain region offers a bold and potent character. Expect a clear, vibrant liquor with strong initial notes that settle into a deep, earthy foundation, characteri. It leans earthy, mineral and robust.

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 2020 harvest.

Starts at $6.99 from King Tea Mall, or about $0.33/g. A 7g package gets you around 1 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $1.98 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
