Recommended for "relaxing without the alcohol"; a smoky whiskey substitute; experienced raw pu-erh lovers looking for pu-erh tea to drink now AND age for years to come

Love whiskey? Especially the smoky kind? This raw pu'er (or pu-erh) is just like the smoky whiskey but without the burn. If you have a habit of drinking a dram of whiskey to create your sanctuary, you can create the same relaxing feeling with this tea without the alcohol.

Harvested in the Nadameng reservoir, a top-quality nature reserve located in Bulang mountain, this tea presents buds and leaves in beautiful shades of olive. The bright golden liquor has an initial bite of cooling bitterness, followed by complex and nuanced whiskey notes that linger beautifully with a long-lasting smooth and sweet finish. The overall level of astringency has subsided and its body has further developed over the last year.

If you are looking to pair this tea with food, we recommend pairing with spicy food, such as ginger chicken, dry pepper fish, and lamb vindaloo. This tea also has been served at L'appart, a Michelin-starred restaurant in NYC that offers a French tasting menu prepared by chef Nicolas Abello.

Second time around just as good
This was a gift years ago and I savored it for the whole time, and was sad to run out. I decided to stock up and get the big bag and it's just as good as the last batch. I love the smokiness and clarity, and even though I bet there are many other teas to try, it's also great to have a reliable standby.

Bulang 2015 Raw Pu'er
I personally wasn't a huge fan of the musky scents and flavors, however I did enjoy the floral notes and hazelnut undertones. Quite a lovely raw Pu'er.

The tea itself was delicious!
Opening the bag straight away I got a whiff of walnut aroma which opens up to hay, cedar, and florals with a rinse. Jammy apricot and a hint of tobacco on the palate, the cedar and hay returning for a long finish.

Solid puerh
This is a solid puerh. All the listed notes are spot on: I get a lot of musk after the second brew, and a lot of pleasant floral notes. It’s interesting to see how much aging affects the tea, comparing this to the Bulang 2017.

I really enjoyed the smoky yet sweet taste of this Pu'er, and every so often getting hit with the subtle hint of bay leaf. Quite a lovely tea.
