China Bulang Raw Puerh tea sampler

China Bulang Raw Puerh tea sampler:

Bulang Shan (mountain) is located in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan. It is a core puerh region with a long tradition of tea cultivation.
One of the oldest ethnic groups in Yunnan, the Bulang people are believed to be among the earliest tea cultivators in China, with their cultural heritage and knowledge tied deeply to Puerh.

Famous for its strong bitterness, and then lingering sweetness, Bulang raw puerh often hits hard first, then transforms into a smooth, sweet aftertaste. Compared to Yiwu (being soft, floral, and gentle) or Jingmai (being fruity and orchid like), Bulang is bold, strong, and can take your breath away, making it easily recognisable.

Boiling but not boiled water (100 degrees Celsius – fish eyes bubble size, see Tea Making for more info)

You can do a rinse but I don’t as I find with most teas, the first infusion is the most revealing.
