Bulang buzzing

Wow this is exactly my type of tea. Thick mouth feel, amber honey infusion, quick bitter into slight sweetness, immediately body warming sensation, smell/taste that lasts after the session done, oily weight and viscousity that sloooowly slides down the sides of your tongue……. oh and the tea drunk that could wake the dead! I have come full circle, young bulangs are what I started drinking when I got into puer not liking them at first but the intrigued by their “ying-yang” qualities. By that reference I meant you don’t know sweet until you have tasted bitter, you don’t know thick chunky mouthfeel unless you can bare the astringency and you won’t ever build up a tolerance to enjoy your tea drunk until you have been abused by some good ol’ bulang enough times.

Short and simple yes yes yes. It is bitter it is astringent so be warned if you are into flowery sweet yiwu this is probably not for you.

Flavors: Bitter, Citrusy, Lemongrass

I like the "kick you in the mouth " teas.

I love this tea. I want to get me an extra since its mini. I’m sure I will finish it fast

I like the kicky ones too, but if they literally make me nauseated, no thanks

I think I have an iron stomach I have never tasted a tea that made me nauseous, puer usually keeps me “regular” just like coffee but never nauseous.

This could be the tea I’ve been waiting for :)

It’s the bargain of the century in my mind, just like the repave it’s not super complex but what it does, it does right. Id prefer a cake to be great at one thing rather than say autumn tea that is just “ok” in multiple things. A typical bulang bitterness with outstanding thickness and almost jammy jello like texture. I regret not getting a tong for the first time in my life. Everyone’s taste is different though so just because I am in love with it I would still say buy one cake at first can’t really go wrong for under $20 and throw in some samples or some ripes in the order to justify the shipping.

I try to refrain from numerically rating a tea until I have tried brewing at least an oz of it with various different parameters and vessels (hotter/colder water, longer/shorter times, yixing/gaiwan etc)
