Its tea gardens lie among rivers of the Lancang–Mekong system, evergreen and seasonal tropical forests, and acidic, well-drained mountain soils enriched by organic matter from shaded old-growth and semi-forested gardens. Long associated with the Bulang people, one of the region’s early tea-cultivating communities, the mountain is known for ancient tea-tree populations and famous villages such as Lao Banzhang, Xin Banzhang, Lao Man’e, and Manxinlong. Its teas are usually made from Yunnan large-leaf material into sun-dried maocha for raw or ripe pu’er, with a signature profile of dense liquor, strong bitterness, deep forest aromatics, and a persistent returning sweetness that reflects Bulang Shan’s humid, mineral, forested borderland terroir.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"O-FIVE RARE TEA BAR","offers":[{"title":"50g","offer_id":52210293702967,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100g","offer_id":52210293735735,"sku":null,"price":37.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"250g","offer_id":52210408423735,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"500g","offer_id":52210417074487,"sku":null,"price":170.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2059\/0699\/files\/mist-memory-dragon-bamboo-aged-2006-raw-pu-er-1021681.png?v=1779910687","url":"https:\/\/www.o5tea.com\/products\/mist-memory-dragon-bamboo-aged-2006-raw-pu-er","provider":"O5 RARE TEA BAR","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
