Bulang Old Arbor (2015)
Bulang Old Arbor (2015)
The Bulang mountains in Southern China are renowned for the powerful, bittersweet teas they produce. One of the most famous terroirs for raw pu’er, this blend of old tree material from different villages has aged beautifully in wet Guangzhou storage. This sheng style pu’er tea was made from a blend of old arbor material harvested in the Spring of 2015 from different villages across a somewhat wide area. At 7 years of age, this tea has mellowed considerably. There is still some background astringency which should age out in a few years. Otherwise the character is rich and woodsy, with characteristic tobacco and dried fruit notes. This is a very good value for this quality of material with a good head start aging.
