2009 Tian Yuan Bulang Green Cake Raw 250g
Composed of early spring tea picked from established plantation tea bushes in the Bu Lang mountain range in the southern part of Menghai county. True to its Bu Lang origins this tea is packed with vegetal green intensity with lots of cha qi too! This tea cake under the light of the sun is whitish due to the leaves being covered in whitish hairs! The brewed leaves are not wilted (due to late sha qing) nor were they over processed during the sha qing process (lit. kill green process). A hand-processed tea that will age with complexity!

Dry – Leaf has a darker hue than it used to, which makes me happy to see some aging going on. The scent is mellow tobacco, faint wood and bittersweet to sweet notes, nothing special.
Wet – The leaf are sort of choppy but not bad. The scent is very apparent (but not unpleasant) tobacco (maybe, just maybe some smoke), combined with very medicinal bitter/ bittersweet and even sweet notes.
Liquor – Amber and at times sort of cloudy.
The tea is very straight forward with bitter to bitter sweet tobacco and medicinal notes that linger in the middle and turn sweeter as it goes down. Something note worthy is that the body is very smooth and even has thickness to it, specially when considering usually teas like these tend to have a more astringent and lighter body; with that being said, some astringency is still here, but is not unpleasant. The huigan is sweet and lingers that develops a nice camphor. This tea is making me hungry to the point that I stopped drinking to cook something.
Hind sight is 20/20, for $14 back then (and now sold out) this was a tea to buy and store, it won’t become AMAZING, but it will sure turn nice if you like a more ‘traditional’ tobacco-like Bulang Puerh.
Flavors: Bitter, Camphor, Medicinal, Sweet, Tobacco
Excellent review. I think I know what you are saying about this one.
I’m wondering what you stopped to cook…
I don’t know what it is about these stronger teas that just make me feel like I skipped breakfast and lunch altogether. I didn’t had many choices, but I happened to had fresh salmon which only takes a few mins to cook. so I went with that.
