Rama Lama Bulang is the ripe pu’er or “shou” style offering in our 2015 series of hit singles. Relatively small and tender leaves of te ji and grade 1 picking were chosen from Bada and Bulang for this cake. Picked and fermented in 2014, pressed August 1 of 2015. Clean and green – from a no-spray farm!
The results are spectacular steeped in quick gong fu style or big western style infusions. Predictable dark mineral earthiness is present along with a fascinating array of other flavors. We get some woodshop impressions, dark cocoa, fruit, molasses, and spices. A very warming tea that gives wonderful energy and clean taste without any off-putting post fermentation flavors.
This little number is quite different from the other Mandala Tea ripe tea releases and belongs in any shou lover’s collection.
