Spring Bulang

This raw Pu-erh offers a potent and deeply aromatic profile. Expect a captivating interplay of bitterness, which is gracefully balanced by a rich, butter-sweet finish. It leans potent, bitter and sweet.

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.
