1998 Bulang Big Tree Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake | #107

Liming Tea Factory Aged Shou Pu-erh

This 1998 Bulang Big Tree Ripe Pu-erh Tea Cake is a well-aged shou pu-erh tea produced using tea material from the renowned Bulang Mountain tea region. The tea reflects the rich and bold character that Bulang teas are known for among pu-erh enthusiasts.

Crafted using carefully selected large-tree tea leaves from Bulang Mountain, the tea was fermented using traditional ripe pu-erh processing techniques. Over more than two decades of natural aging, the tea has developed a smooth, mellow, and deeply satisfying character.

The tea originates from the pu-erh producing mountains of Yunnan, a region famous for producing some of the world’s most respected pu-erh teas.

The tea cake appears firm and compact with a reddish-brown surface, showing signs of long-term natural aging.

When brewed, the tea produces a rich red and clear tea liquor with excellent clarity. The aroma is warm and inviting, revealing aged notes with a comforting sweetness.

The flavor profile is balanced and enjoyable, featuring the classic qualities often praised in aged ripe pu-erh tea:

• Fragrant aroma

• Glutinous and smooth texture

• Soft sweetness

• Silky mouthfeel

The tea liquor feels thick, mellow, and smooth, flowing gently across the palate with a pleasant sweetness that lingers in the mouth.

With its mature character and smooth drinking experience, this tea is an excellent example of aged Bulang Mountain ripe pu-erh tea that can be enjoyed now or further stored.
