    Bulang 2015 Ancient Tree Ripe Pu'er

    I absolutely loved this tea!! The tasting notes of biscotti and almond milk are definitely more and more prevalent as the tea steeps and the sweet after taste is absolutely lovely. Definitely writing down as one of my favorites from Mansa Tea!

    Bulang Ripe Puerh

    I've had the 2014, 2015 and 2017 raw versions of this tea, and the ripe pu'er is so so different! Did you know that this dark tea actually starts as a green tea?! I didn't either, but that's why I'm learning! I usually find ripe puers to be a bit too strong on what I call the mushroom taste (no shade - I love mushrooms), but this one is a bit more mellow and well rounded. Maybe it's because it comes from such a quality varietal?

    Wow - best ripe pu-erh I've ever tasted

    When it comes to pu-erh teas, I am more of a raw pu-erh person. But this ripe pu-erh was so different from others I've tried before. I used to think that ripe pu-erh is just earthy with sweet rice notes, but this one completely changed my perception. This tea is much more complex with a mix of fruity and sweet notes. Highly recommend. Even if you are not a typical ripe pu-erh fan.

    Hi SY, Thank you for your wonderful review of our Laoman'e 2018 Ancient Tree Ripe Pu'er. Ripe Pu'er is definitely a special tea. In our tasting notes, we've compared it to white peach, dried jujube, and pine tree with a lingering sweetness after each sip. It's nice that this has opened up your mind to the possibilities of ripe pu-erh, and we hope that you'll try some more!
