what in the name of Dong Ding Oolong is not knowing how to distinguish:
1. Authentic flavour and taste
2. Change of tea tree cultivar
3. Effect from global warming and the acidic environment issue
4. The influence from tea production processes
Here is a taste comparing report from
1. Tea sample from a Belgian who brought back from Lugu, Taiwan this summer
2. One Dong Ding oolong collection from our centre
The fun with tea does not limited to only pure tea and it does not end with it as well, it’s fun to play with own blending.
This is the blending of using black tea from different regions in the world, with dried orange peel and a pinch of lavender
The flavor is similar to Earl Grey except there is no trace of aromatic additives or essential oil. Can enjoy its harmony taste without sugar and/or milk.

There is an amazing world for us to explore with tea.
Hubei is the birthplace of my biological parents, even though I haven’t have the opportunity to visit there but now I have this amazing organic quality Golden Tippy Gongfu Black Tea from the Ming Chien (明前) harvest in my collection that allow my spirit sour as if I can touch the beautiful nature every time I brew this tea.
The region is on the high mountain range above 1300 meter, fresh leaves were picked right after the cold winter, therefore not only the dried leaves look very pretty with excessive golden hair coverage, but also with amazing fine flavor and taste.
I wish I can send this fine flavor and taste to you via internet, but don’t worry, you are in my heart when enjoyed the brewing.
Full body of flavor
Fine taste without single trace of bitterness
Tasting you
What a joyful reunion of two old friends
even though it wasn’t long ago
but each time it’s like two old friends who met after a long time
Each reunion is such wonderful moment with joyful tear and heart full emotion
Such passion that can neither be described with words nor be melted even with ice from the North Pole.
Tasting you
It is like listening to the charm that hangs on the horse neck
It guides me to the ancient tea route with the sound of clink, clink, clink
Every step we move forwards, a new path is opened before us that has no end.
Old friend
even though you are far from the South, at the edge of cloud,
and yet you are so close to my heart
Silently you emerge with the beautiful harmony in Nature
Silently you enrich the healthy living, bring us joy
and guard us through the wisdom of Confucian, Taoism and Buddhism
It doesn’t matter which comes first, tea or people, just because you are already here.
Old friend,
With you, there are so many amazing stories and secrets of ancient tribes to tell
With you, we taste the harmony melody of heaven, earth and human, we realize the virtue of keeping head down
Time passed by without a trace
you have turned, turned, turned around for thousands of year
and yet are still turning
You have been through many storms and changes
You have witnessed many turmoil and chaos
You stand straight quietly, do your best to survive and hope we can listen
You shed so many tear for human errors, your voice has not been heard and yet we fail to listen
Pu’erh Tea
One ancient Chinese name
It brings the gentle breeze and the whisper from the Nature
One big leaf that has many legends and surprises
One big leaf that has varied flavor and taste that transformed in time
My heart is touched by the natural wisdom
Every cup opens a door for a new journey
A true friend that enlightens my day in the darkness, warms up my heart in the coldness
Its warmth frees my mind and its wisdom whispers to my soul
It’s my cup of tea
It’s Pu’erh
The pinyin for 烏龍 in English can be either Wu Long or Oolong. But in Chinese there is one spelling that is 烏龍 and if you used the standard hàn yǔ pīn yīn, you will get wū lóng.

Here are some information about the organic quality traditional Oolong from the batanical tea garden from KP: he wants and he drinks only clean and pure quality tea.
it is more gentle to the stomach and it tastes good.
Under the greyish sky, it’s time to enjoy the calm and ease energy. After a bowl of noddle, I said to myself that I need to have a cup of tea to stimulate the digestion. The fine image of Bada mountain and ZhangLang cottages that mentioned in the earlier blog still hanging in my memory. So my mind was set for Pu’erh.
Instead of young Sheng Pu’erh, it’s time for old tea; instead of opening another dialogue page in mind, I chose the Sheng Pu’erh from ZhangLang made by Bu Lang tribe of 2008.
2008 Bu Lang Sheng Pu’erhAfter so many years,can easily divide leaves from the cake.
It’s hard to describe that joyful feeling when smelling that mixture of refreshing fruity, betel nuts, mos and grassy notes; the only thought was “Yes, Yes, Yes”.
What I love about Sheng Pu’erh from Zhanglang made by Bu Lang tribe is when you first drink it, the taste was soft and smooth, but the mouth is quickly full with the astringent after taste and the after taste last long.
When brewing this 8 years old Sheng Pu’erh made from >100 years old tea tree with wood-fired ceramic tea ware, it’s like enjoying a dialogue that combine wisdom of five elements between two zen monks. The dialogue without speaking, simply enjoy peace and tranquillity in a moment of silence.
Region:
Tea cake is made from tea leaves from Zhanglang cottage and BaDa mountain region. The average age of tea tree: >100 years old.
BaDa Mountain is one of the most
concentrated areas of ancient tea tree resources in Xishuangbanna, and there are more than 6,000 mu of original ancient tea tree. Zhanglang is the largest family stockade of BuLang tribe. The altitude is about 1750meters where have not only very rich resource for Puerh tea production, but also the cultural heritage is also obsessed by many people who appreciate tea and nature.
Flavour & Taste
BuLang Pu’er tea is known for its steady atmosphere, delicated flavor from the tea liquid. The taste is somewhat watery soft and smooth with slight bitter astringent taste; the after taste comes slowly in mouth but full of stamina that chants in your mind with its memorable 
flavor and taste.

In general, this year the region has ess rain after the Chinese New Year and the frost afterwards caused drops of fresh young leaves. The quantity has drops about 40% but the demands are increased therefore the whole sales price increases more than double than last year. Even though the price is slightly higher this year, but the quality is worth for collection.
