Harvested and crafted in the fall of 2021, this cake maintains the same exceptional quality of its 2019 edition.

Lingering salavation

By Neal Perrin
Very very nice Shen all you want in a puerh. Love the throat filling and thickness of this puerh. Did two extra infusions at a minute and minute and a half still had a lot left. Hope to purchase more.

I bought a seven cake ting to put in storage for a few years and when I break into it I will be so happy I stashed it away!

A bold and refreshing hug from the boughs of an Old Tree.

By Cody
I have only begun my puerh journey recently, my first cake was Bulang Old Tree. Even after trying dozens of other puerhs, this tea is still one of my very favorites. To me, the thick, vegetal tea soup gives way to an approachable bitter sweetness for many brews. The hui gan is cool and welcome. A very quality and modest priced tea, I purchased a tung for long term storage, it can only get better!
Our Response:

Welcome to the world of pu-erh. The Bulang Old Tree is a good-valued tea. In time, I can imagine it will only get better.

Great Autumn Puer Cake!

By BL
This is a very good example of a great autumn tea that has a wonderful balance of initial bulang florals in the beginning and a nice body to last many brews. Unlike many autumn puers that flattens out after the first couple brews, this one definitely lasted longer than I expected. At this price, a good deal given the quality of leaves. Can't wait to see how this pure autumn cake will age!
Our Response:

I almost forgot this is an Autumn tea. You are right. This tea is richer and thicker than most other autumn puerhs.

I've only stashed it. It stashes well.

By Sara K.
I've stashed my seven cake tong in my pantry so it can age a few years so I don't know how it tastes. It shipped quickly and the bamboo packaging is nice.
Our Response:

The flavors will become deeper and more mellow over time.

Bulang Old Tree 2021

By Catherine S
After enjoying this tea from the raw Pu-erh sampler I decided to try storing some for later. I was pleased to find information about personal tea storage in the Pu-erh section under Tea Literacy. Thanks for providing so much useful information here!
Our Response:

Thank you for your nice review. The Bulang Old Tree is indeed a good tea to age for future enjoyment.
