TSHU030 - Bulang Shucha 2012

Product detailed description

Overview
An aged shu puer from the Bulang Tea Mountain (布朗), which was produced in Spring 2012 and pressed in Autumn 2020. The term "Gongting 宫廷" refers to the prevalance of small tea tips, which are characterized by sweeter and smoother flavor layers. The tea was generously provided by Liang, a certified tea master (2013, Shenzhen), senior tea mentor and lecturer at Xishuangbanna Jinlanling Vocational Training School (西双版纳金蓝领职业培训学校) since 2019 who source her teas across twelve tea mountains within Xishuangbanna.

During our work trip to Xishuangbanna at the beginning of 2025, we spent quite a lot of time tasting, testing and consulting various aspects of local teas. Additionally, we conducted several interviews with her and discussed contemporary trends in Xishuangbanna tea industry. This tea has dark brown-wine color and a distinctive dark sugar-sweet molasses fragrance. While we were drinking at Liang's tea house, we liked its chestnut-honey flavor and woody aftertaste, which is ideal for daily drinking and tea lovers who like minimum earthiness.
