The tea was sold out for a while. The current stock of a few cakes comes from our Private Reserve, which we acquired previously and aged in our private storage. While it is exactly the same tea, the taste may vary slightly from the previous batch sold on our website due to the different storage conditions. If you have ever ordered this tea, you may notice subtle differences in flavor.

Bulang Shan is the homeland of the Bulang minority, where they have lived for generations. It is believed that Bulang people are the earliest population in the world to cultivate, make and drink tea, which explains why Bulang Shan is one of the most prestigious tea mountains and why it is one of the Puerh regions where the ancient tea gardens are preserved in numbers. Bulang Shan is located on the border with Myanmar, at an average altitude of 1216m, with a south subtropical monsoon climate, plenty of sunshine and an abundance of rainfall, however, with more evaporation than rainfall, the relatively dry climate gives the Bulang Shan’s Puerh a high-profile character: strong flavors and dense aromas.

Dry wood, cereal grains, like autumnal fields, a bit spicy and incredibly, with a hint of dried mint or camphor
