CN¥758.00 Sale Save
Bulang 布朗, the fourth and last chapter of our first Eastern Tea Club, takes us to an exciting final tasting journey: home to the King of Pu’er tea, with famous villages like Laobanzhang and Laoman’e, this area got its royal title in more recent times. Ancient emperors were not aware that on the other side of the seemingly uncrossable Mekong river, a gem was hidden in wild lands, where ethnic minorities preserved its secret until our times, and worshipped its tea trees as a sacred entity.
Bulang is now known for its typical initial bitterness, its impressive qi 气 - the vital force of tea that shakes up the body, and it is praised for its long-lasting sweet aftertaste and unmatched complexity of flavors.
During this journey, we will taste 7 Sheng Pu’er teas and 2 Shu Pu'er tea (15 gr each) from 8 different villages that will express all the unique sides of Bulang:
  • Laobanzhang 老班章 Shengpu 2018, 
  • Laoman’e 老曼峨 Shengpu 2023, ancient trees and Shupu 2022, 
  • Guangbie 广别 Shengpu 2023, Laobanzhang cultivar
  • Guangbie old village 广别老寨 Shengpu 2023, 
  • Hekai 贺开 Manmai village, Shengpu 2023, 
  • Baka' nan 坝卡囡 Shengpu 2023, 
  • Jiliang 吉良 Shengpu 2023, 
  • Zhangjia, Sandui 章家三队 Shupu 2022, 

As you receive your tea samples, you will find a welcome letter with links to extensive content on the ancient and modern history of the area, geography and culture. You will then have access to a reserved community chat area where we continue to upload new contents, and you can share your own tasting notes, observations, and travel stories.

You will also have access to the informative material and the recording of the online webinar, in which we will explore each village, and share direct experiences of our trips on site. We invite you to start tasting the samples as soon as you receive them, but we suggest to keep few grams to taste again and comment together.

Each chapter of our tea club will be available on our shop until the end of the first season, or until stocks last.
