The Sheng Puer Tea (raw) Bulang Treasure 2020 is a carefully selected product by Tea Soul to offer an even deeper tasting and knowledge experience regarding the complex type of puer teas. The gardens from which the leaves of this sheng come are located near the city of Mengzhe in the county of Menghai. From this area in the far south of Yunnan, in the province of Xishuangbanna, many high-quality puer teas originate due to the excellent raw materials of the region and the significant presence of skilled and experienced tea artisans. The infusion of the Sheng Puer Tea (raw) Bulang Treasure 2020 possesses a rather complex flavor profile, capable of developing significantly especially in the aftertaste. In the initial sips, the tea mainly showcases its vegetal character, suggesting both a strong flavor, reminiscent of asparagus, and a fresher one, comparable to that of soy sprouts. As the tasting progresses, the puer also reveals a sweetness with cereal notes and a particularly soft body, suggesting a buttery sensation on the palate. Amidst the rich flavor panorama of this product, a slight bitter taste can also be perceived, indicating a significant aging potential over time. If you wish to further explore the wide range of flavors that the Bulang area can express, we suggest comparing this product with the Sheng Puer Tea (raw) Bulang Gushu 2018. Production After harvesting, the leaves of the Sheng Puer Tea (raw) Bulang Treasure 2020 are allowed to wither in the sun for a certain period, depending on the producer, before proceeding to the "kill green" phase, which is similar to that used in producing green teas. The particularity in this case lies in not heating the leaves as much as is done for green tea, so that some enzymes that can change flavors over time are preserved. Once steamed, the leaves are left to rest overnight before completing their sun drying. In this stage, the product is called maocha and is ready to be pressed if necessary, to obtain the best conditions for transportation and aging. To press the leaves, they are passed through a strong jet of steam for a few seconds, softening them externally, and then gathered in a stocking or bag that will give the product its usual disc shape. To ensure that this structure remains stable over time, the bag is left for hours under a stone or mechanical press while the leaves lose the residual moisture taken from the steam in the previous phase. Infusion method for Sheng Puer Tea (raw) Bulang Treasure 2020 We strongly recommend infusing the Sheng Puer Tea (raw) Bulang Treasure 2020 using the traditional Chinese method (Gong Fu Cha) with a Gaiwan holding about 100 ml. Following this preparation, with 5 grams of leaves, multiple infusions can be made to fully appreciate all the flavors of the tea. After a quick rinse of the leaves with water at a temperature of 100°C, you can proceed with a first infusion of 10 seconds and then, keeping the water at the same temperature, continue to extract flavors by adding more water and increasing the previous infusion time by about 5 seconds (10 - 15 - 20…). For a more traditional preparation according to Western style, we recommend 3 grams of leaves (about 2 teaspoons) in a 150 ml cup with water at 100°C for a 1.5-minute infusion time. For a better tasting experience, we suggest filtering the infusion immediately after the established steeping time. The infusion times we suggest can, however, also be slightly adjusted to your liking for a more or less intense flavor. It is recommended to store in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Benefits of Sheng Puer Tea (raw) The Sheng Puer Teas (raw) mainly have effects related to the nervous system. Due to their caffeine and amino acid content, they can provide both stimulation helpful for keeping the mind awake and reactive, and lower the production of certain hormones that lead to a feeling of stress. The charge induced by Sheng Puer Tea (raw) gradually manifests in the body and shows greater duration over time compared to the effect that can be felt from drinking green teas. Finally, if you are particularly sensitive to caffeine, we encourage you to consume no more than two cups of Sheng Puer Tea (raw) per day and perhaps try to have this beverage in the morning or early afternoon.
