Taste characteristics: Made with spring leaves from small trees under 100-years-old, this Bulang mini cake is a great choice for a Pu-erh beginners who want to get to know quality Pu-erh without having to invest a lot of money. Beautifully pressed and packaged, the dry leaves of this cake emit a natural tea fragrance. This uncomplicated raw Pu-erh offers a smooth, medium-body, and slightly grassy flavor. As this is a very young tea, it would be a good choice of tea in the morning to get you ready for the day. This tea is produced by tea master Vesper Chan.

Buy a whole tong 01/26/2025 ByJoshua Hardin Not there yet but one day, plan is to buy two. One for now and one to set aside to age. These are good to go the day they land though. Bright fresh taste and good kick of caffeine, which is what I’m going for. Don’t get the water too hot for this one does better around 170F for me. Would recommend to a friend. Our responseThank you for such a nice review. You're right - the cooling water brings out more sweet from the tea.
Excellent value, high quality sheng, fast processing05/21/2018 ByRobert Mitchell Shipping was lightening fast! Very happy that I was able to enjoy this sheng as quickly as I could.
