Bulang Tea Mountain
Bounty & Prosperity Tea Stupa
Menghai County 2007

• Menghai County, Yunnan Province, China

• Sheng 'raw' Pu-erh

• Produced by Bulang Tea Factory

• Pressed in 2007

• Stupa-shaped gourd and melon compressed Pu-erh

This compressed and molded Pu-erh is a showpiece for your tea collection: place it on your tea table for inspiration and reflection or conversation. In Yunnan, almost every Pu-erh store features a Stupa-shaped Pu-erh ( most are much larger than this and have more pieces ! ) which symbolizes bounty and prosperity. The two pieces weigh 1 kilo ( 2.2 lbs ) and each piece is exquisitely molded. The gourd balances perfectly atop the melon, yet each piece looks just fine sitting alongside the other. We have not had the heart to break one open for tasting, but the aroma from the leaf is clean and fresh and suggests a good forest environment.

Infuse many times with very hot water.
