This 2003 Bulang Mountain Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake, naturally aged for 22 years, comes from Bulang Mountain (Bu Lang Shan), one of the earliest regions in the world where Pu-erh tea was cultivated, with a tea growing history stretching back over 1,400 years. Known as the “hometown of Pu-erh tea,” this rare aged raw Pu-erh tea is born from this ancient and legendary mountain.

Origin of Bulang Mountain

Bulang Mountain is located in the Menghai tea-producing region of Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, China. It has long been home to the Bulang ethnic group, known for their traditional tea culture.

Historical Background of Bulang Tea

In earlier times, the Bulang people lived through hunting, and their diet consisted mainly of fire-roasted food. Legend has it that during a sudden outbreak of plague, when no remedy was available and the tribe faced despair, an ancestor chewed a wild tea leaf by chance and miraculously recovered. From that moment on, the Pu-erh tea tree was regarded as a sacred gift from heaven and nature, revered and protected by generations.

Cultural Wisdom of the Bulang People

Among the Bulang people, there is an old saying:
“If you leave gold to your descendants, it will one day be spent; but if you leave a tea leaf and a seed, they can nourish them for generations.”
This deep reverence and love for tea laid the foundation for Bulang Mountain’s thousand-year bond with raw Pu-erh tea and its continued cultivation.
