About 2016 Blang Just Right Pu'erh Raw Tea Cake 357g

Our 2016 Blang Just Right Pu’er Raw Cake uses sun-dried Shaiqinmao tea leaves (Yunnan big-leaf variety) from the Bulang Mountain area (see Pu’er Tea Product 3 for region information). It is produced by Biming Tea Factory in Menghai County, Yunnan.

The taste of this young Pu’er is strong and powerful with a rough mouthfeel. A mild and pleasant bitterness at the first sip transforms into a lingering, sweet aftertaste within 20-30 seconds. The taste is mellow, fresh and sweet. Tasting the tea carefully, a hint of lotus aroma will emerge. The tea soup is pure and clear, apricot yellow in colour.

Origin

Yunnan

Blang Mountain is located in Menghai County, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, which is a well-known and ancient Pu’er-producing area with very advantageous natural conditions. The Blang people were the first in the world to grow and process tea leaves, and countless generations have grown up cultivating the local Pu’er tea trees. The Pu’er tea that is produced here has legendary status.

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.
