After the tea leaves have been picked and dried, the tea leaves are then “wet-scraped” (渥堆, wòduī, “vodui”), where they are piled up and steamed. This creates ideal conditions for the microorganisms to start fermenting the tea leaves. It is important to control the temperature and humidity in this process to ensure even fermentation. This stage can typically last from a few days to a few months, depending on the production technologists and the desired taste and aroma. Once fermentation is complete, the tea is dried again.
Shu pu'er 2023 from the big trees of the Bulang Mountains (布朗大树熟普洱, bùlǎng dà shù shú pǔ'ěr, "Bulang da shu shu pu'er") has a rich, deep nutty-woody aroma with notes of coffee, slightly sweet and salty, with hints of creaminess, a taste with earthy notes, woody (木香, mù xiāng, "musiang"), oily in the body, with sweetness and bitter chocolate in the aftertaste.
Bulangshan (布朗山, bùlǎng shān) is a unique region known for its rich tea heritage and the culture of the Bulang people. Its mountainous terrain and diverse natural conditions create ideal conditions for growing tea. Some of the oldest tea trees that produce high-quality pu-erh are found here.
The Bulang people, one of the indigenous groups in the region, have a deep tradition in tea production. Their knowledge and skills in this craft have been passed down from generation to generation, making Bulangshan a center for high-quality tea production.
The tea trees in this area are distinguished by their characteristics: straight-trunked and small trees have unique leaf shapes and sizes, which affect the taste and aroma of the finished product. The high forest content and soil diversity contribute to the creation of a rich ecosystem balance, which also affects the quality of the tea.
