Li Ming - 2006 Bulang Shan

This is a great classic Li Ming factory tea, less smokey than our other offering (of 2007) and with higher quality leaf material including ancient trees (gu shu).

Li Ming (黎明, daybreak) is a rather large state owned tea producer that makes Pu Erh tea under the label Ba Jiao Ting (八角亭, Octagonal Pavilion). This producer serves a wide spectrum of teas. You can find lower quality plantation tea as well as high quality tea from older trees and tea gardens.
