2026 Bulang Mountain Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

The 2026 Bulang Mountain Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake is made from carefully selected large-leaf tea trees grown in the core region of Bulang Mountain (Brown Mountain), Yunnan. This region is one of the most historically significant and highly regarded tea mountains in the world of Pu-erh.

The leaves were harvested in spring 2026, traditionally sun-dried, and stone-pressed into a tea cake.

Bulang Mountain is known for producing teas with a distinct and powerful mountain character.The region’s complex microclimates and high-elevation forests give rise to teas with a deep bitterness, pronounced structure, and a fast-returning sweetness that unfolds in layers. For many collectors and experienced tea drinkers, this intensity is what makes Bulang teas especially valuable for long-term aging.

Natural Character

As a young raw Pu-erh, this 2026 production retains a high concentration of naturally occurring tea polyphenols and caffeine due to minimal oxidation during processing.

Key Flavor Profile

• A deep, structured bitterness
• A vibrant and lively mouthfeel
• A pronounced sense of tea qi (often described as a feeling of vitality)
