Spring Bulang

This raw Pu-erh offers a smooth and sweet initial taste, followed by a noticeable bitterness and astringency that quickly evolves into a delightful sweet floral finish. It's a well-balanced tea, showc. It leans sweet, floral and astringent.

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.
