Type: Raw Pu-erh (unfermented)
Grade: 1-3
Production area: Bulang Mountain, Yunnan Province

Harvested and crafted in the fall of 2021, this cake maintains the same exceptional quality of its 2019 edition. It is made from trees about 300 years of age, resulting in a tea that offers rich and layered flavors. What sets this tea apart from other young pu-erh is its texture. Not only is it remarkably smooth and full-bodied, but it is also durable and has a delightful sweet finish.

Use 4g-5g of leaves per 6 ounces of water. Rinse the leaves once with hot water (195ºF) and discard the water. Start steeping with water at 195º F and brew according to the recommended steeping times below.

A bold and refreshing hug from the boughs of an Old Tree. 01/13/2021
By Cody
I have only begun my puerh journey recently, my first cake was Bulang Old Tree. Even after trying dozens of other puerhs, this tea is still one of my very favorites. To me, the thick, vegetal tea soup gives way to an approachable bitter sweetness for many brews. The hui gan is cool and welcome. A very quality and modest priced tea, I purchased a tung for long term storage, it can only get better!
Our responseWelcome to the world of pu-erh. The Bulang Old Tree is a good-valued tea. In time, I can imagine it will only get better.

Great Autumn Puer Cake! 04/24/2021
By BL
This is a very good example of a great autumn tea that has a wonderful balance of initial bulang florals in the beginning and a nice body to last many brews. Unlike many autumn puers that flattens out after the first couple brews, this one definitely lasted longer than I expected. At this price, a good deal given the quality of leaves. Can't wait to see how this pure autumn cake will age!
Our responseI almost forgot this is an Autumn tea. You are right. This tea is richer and thicker than most other autumn puerhs.

Glad I found Bana Tea Co. 01/29/2024
By Andrew
Bana Tea Company is a wonderful merchant to do business with. The tea selection is outstanding, the various Pu-erh teas I purchased are top notch, and the shipping and service was flawless. I will definitely be using Bana again to add to my Pu-erh collection.
Our responseWe are humbled by your kind review. We will continue to try hard to bring you high quality, yet reasonably priced pu-erh for your collection. We truly appreciate you taking the time to give us such nice feedback.

After enjoying this tea from the raw Pu-erh sampler I decided to try storing some for later. I was pleased to find information about personal tea storage in the Pu-erh section under Tea Literacy. Thanks for providing so much useful information here!
Our responseThank you for your nice review. The Bulang Old Tree is indeed a good tea to age for future enjoyment.

Lingering salavation 03/08/2020
By Neal Perrin
Very very nice Shen all you want in a puerh. Love the throat filling and thickness of this puerh. Did two extra infusions at a minute and minute and a half still had a lot left. Hope to purchase more.
Our responseThis was a good find. Great quality for a great price.

I've only stashed it. It stashes well. 05/22/2021
By Sara K.
I've stashed my seven cake tong in my pantry so it can age a few years so I don't know how it tastes. It shipped quickly and the bamboo packaging is nice.
Our responseThe flavors will become deeper and more mellow over time.
