Brewing Guide
For simple glass vessel / teapot brewing:
You can brew less tea leaves with more hot water for longer brewing time. Use 2 teaspoons of the tea for 125ml teacup, 4 teaspoons for 250ml glass or 8 teaspoons for 500ml teapot. Using 100°C hot water to infuse tea leaves for around 3-4 minutes. Re-steep for around 6-7 times. Adjust it according to personal taste.

-Detailed processes:
- Warm the Gaiwan/tiny teapot with hot water; discard the water afterwards

Blang Mountain, Yunan Province
Origin
The Blang Mountain area has a subtropical monsoon climate with abundant sunlight and rainfall. The average annual precipitation is 1,374mm, and the average annual temperature is around 18–21℃. It is basically frost-free, or has a very short frost period. The winter is not very cold, but is as foggy as the spring, and the summer is not intensely hot but is as rainy as the autumn. The temperature is very mild – it feels like spring all year round. Blang Mountain tea plantations include many wild, ancient trees that grew up with the primeval forest. The soil is deep, breathable and fertile; it isslightly acidic and has good drainage. Types include red soil, yellow soil and lateritic soil, and the pH value is between 4 and 6. These are advantageous conditions for the cultivation of Pu’er tea trees.

This tea has everything. Strong but smooth, with no bitter aftertaste. So many pots from one cake, too.

I’m a fan of Blang Mountain teas and this one is no exception. You can taste the quality of the tea leaves and the depth of flavour.
Alannah S. –
Super nice tea in the form of a condensed cake that makes many, many cups. Great value and flavour.
Austin B. –
This tea manages to be strong but not overpowering. All the warmth and character you’d expect but with a lovely, sweet palate.

I have been a huge fan of your tea. I’ve been a regular user of the HeyChina’s teas. I experienced digestive issues and I was in great need of something to help me. I read up a lot of about tea before ordering it I’m so grateful that I did.
