TSNG083 - Bulang Shengcha 1990s

Product detailed description

Amazing aged sheng puer from Bulang Tea Mountain (布朗山). The tea was produced and pressed in the late 1990s. The tea leaves come from mix of young, mature, and ancient tea trees (huncai 混采), harvested across various tea gardens at Bulang Tea Mountain at the elevation around 1800 m.a.s.l. The cover features a minimalist black-and-red design with Chinese characters indicating the archival piece of this tea brick and old bamboo bark wrapping. The package contains two tea bricks of weighting approximately 250 g each, which was a typical packaging method for sheng puers in the past.

The tea was generously provided by Hu Rui, tea collector born in Menga township (勐阿镇) in Menghai county (勐海县). Hu comes from Han tribe (汉族) and her family owns a small tea house in Jinghong city (景洪市) since 2016. As a tea collector, she focuses on various teas across whole Yunnan Province, particularly from Xishuangbanna. During our work trip to Xishuangbanna in Autumn 2025,  we spend a lot of time by comparing various aged teas from less-known tea villages in both Menghai and Mengla.
