Pressed into small 5 gram nests (tuo) For easy preparation, this PuEr harvested in 2011 around the Bulang mountains was produced and stored in Menghai by Vesper Chan. This ideal portion for brewing in teapot, gaiwan, or in your favorite mug at the office, makes this tea perfect for lovers of simplicity.
In true shou style Pu er, the Bulang Shan 2011 brings forth moist earth, fresh tobacco and ripe fruit aromas (prunes, raisins) typical of this style. Sweet and mineral at first, it expands into a warm and long finish, void of any bitterness.
Company description not available.
Brewed usually at boiling, 400ml water, for 3 minutes at a time in my steeper basket. I’d Gong Fu’d it in my Gaiwain, however I feel like it really shines with heavy handed brewing. The first infusion is Milky and Woody undergrowth, the second infusion is Milky sweetness with Wet wood, and the third is basically a ligther milkyness with wet wood.
Absolutely no bitterness, and quite economically priced. How can I say no?
Flavors: Milk, Milk Chocolate, Wet Wood
Sample Sipdown (709)!
This was one of my free samples from the joint order that I placed w/ my coworker. I finished it off last night Gongfu, with some strong steeping parameters. The sample was two little mini tuochas and I figured out that I could brew both of them in a gaiwan at a 1g/10ml ratio so that’s what I did. I wanted some thick shou!
Brewing it that strong made for a very bold session w/ incredibly thick liquor. Still quite smooth though with lots of notes of damp soil, minerality, date spread, shredded wheat, and a bit of a savory/brothy finish. Went very well with my strawberries & plums!!
I only steeped around seven infusions though I guarantee the tea could go longer; but in some ways it was like drinking hot infusions of thick oil – tasty oil though. It was very, very filling is more what I was trying to get at, though…
