Raw Puer Tea

Bulang Mountain raw pu’er delivers an intensely layered taste: an initial bold bitterness—reminiscent of bitter cacao or grapefruit pith—melts into a potent huigan (sweet aftertaste) of wild honey and sugarcane. Aroma notes evoke smoked plum, pine resin, and sun-warmed rocks, with ancient gushu (old-tree) material adding camphor coolness. Youthful cakes carry floral hints (orchid nectar) beneath assertive astringency; aging (5+ years) softens edges, revealing dried mango, tobacco leaf, and herbal musk. The body is full and gripping, with enduring minerality. A terroir-driven powerhouse, demanding patience but rewarding with transformative depth.
