From Yunnan Sourcing

We are excited to offer this premium ripe pu-erh cake made entirely from Spring 2011 Bu Lang mountain material. First flush material was collected from several Bu Lang villages and fermented for 46 days. After fermentation was completed, the tea was dried and graded. We blended the various grades to create a balance recipe comprising of tippy golden buds and heavier grade 1,3, and 5 leaves. The term “Hui Run” refers to the sweet, slippery and soothing feeling that lingers in the mouth and throat even after the tea drinking session has ended.

357 grams per cake (7 cakes per bamboo leaf tong)

November 15th, 2011 compression date!

Got this from a tea pal a while back and figured I should get to it. I have drank more sheng here lately but time to get the shou on.
I pulled 10 grams of this and put it in the Yixing to brew.I gave 2 5 seconds washes to get it going. It brews a nice dark color from the cup. The brew is very clean without a bunch stuff caught in the strainer. The aroma has that shou scent but not overpowering. It gives hints of caramel, raisins, some chocolate/cocoa and a bit of woodiness. The mouthfeel is very nice and very smooth. Bulang tea makes some really good shou and this fits that category perfectly. No wou dei and a perfect tea for last night and I am on it again this morning.

Flavors: Caramel, Chocolate, Raisins, Wood

It makes you wonder what is lost in those two five second rinses. Just something I noticed today when I did two rinses instead of no rinses.

You try the rinses. I would always rinse though, specially with Ripes and aged Sheng.

@tea123 it is just a practice that I use. Sometimes just one rinse other times two. I usually look in the pot and when I see color coming I quit rinsing at that point. With sheng lots of times I will actually give them a rinse and let them sit an hour to overnight sometimes to let the leaf open up before brewing.

me too, even with clean sheng pu, i always rinse once, just to open up the leaves, it’s not always that the rinse will be undrinkable or gross or anything, just really weak and watery.

This is a very good tea. I have what is left of a tong, about four bings.

Yeah! Leaving the leaves to rest after washes is great. It really changed how steeps behave and even shorten the initial ones. When I first started drinking puerh I would use the ‘chunks’ or compressed layers and though it works for some teas.. some just won’t budge that way.

I’ve been sitting at my desk, sipping cup after cup of this shu.
Rich & satisfying, it is of the “Boston Brown Bread” type, kind of cakey & dense, with a sweet aftertaste reminiscent of dark dried fruits.

I picked this tea randomly this morning from amongst my morning teas. It is very good. It is slightly sweet without any hint of bitterness. There is a little fermentation flavor left but not much. It has notes of dates or plums, not sure which. This would have more notes if I was brewing gongfu style.

I brewed this once in an 18oz teapot with boiling water and 10g leaf for 25 sec. It is hard to brew this tea wrong.

I bought a tong of it about a year and a half ago. I have about four or five cakes left. I keep one broken up in a big ceramic tea caddy and steep it as a breakfast tea. I also picked up a tong of the 2013 Hui Run.

Woody and sweet but not overly. Some plum and cherries detected. Very strong sweet aftertaste

I’m beginning to think that Steepster is annoyed with me haha
It happened again. And I’ve noticed some of my older notes disappeared :(

That sucks! It happened to me several times so I started writing them in wordpad and just copy/pasting into steepstes… you know just in case :P

JC, it’s a great idea except I’m on vacation and I only have iPhone :(
When I come back I will write in word pad. I have to survive somehow another month. Thanks for recommending ;)

A while back I e-mailed my long lost brother Scott at Yunnan Sourcing asking him for some recommendations. This Shou is one that he suggested. The color of the soup is a deep mahogany that borderlines on red wine. The best way to describe the taste is a sweet and earthy combination. I really liked the “Hui Run” which the website refers to as “the sweet, slippery and soothing feeling that lingers in the mouth and throat even after the tea drinking session has ended.” I tend to like my Shou pu’er a little more earthy, but I will definitely enjoy drinking this excellent Shou. This would be a great tea for someone who is new pu’er teas and might be afraid of being overwhelmed be a really earthy tasting Shou. Also, at $27 for 357g, I almost feel like I stole it!!!!
