Bulang

This aged Pu-erh from the Bulang region offers an austere yet potent character, unfolding with deep woody and ancient incense notes. It culminates in a remarkably full and enduring aftertaste, reflect. It leans woody, incense and potent.

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 2004 harvest.

Starts at $42.00 from Teas We Like, or about $2.10/g. A 20g package gets you around 3 gongfu sessions at ~6 g each, which works out to about $12.60 per session. Explore more dark teas on Teadar.
