Pu'er Party
Here is a wonderful way for you and/or a friend or loved one to try a wonderful bunch of ripe style pu'er tea, rich and earthy, dark and warm. There are Mandala Tea exclusives and highly appreciated by pu'er newbies and experts alike.
The Lady with a Fan and We Bulang Together are the loose versions of the teas that were eventually pressed into cakes of the same name. They are not samples of the cakes by the same name. If looking for cake samples, please see the cake listings themselves.
Dark Hollow - smooth, creamy, well-balanced. A favorite.
Lady With a Fan - Leather, fruit, wood and earth.
Rice Aroma - Ripe pu'er/herbal blend. Jasmine rice, nutty, earthy, rich.
We Bulang Together- Shu (ripe pu'er) goodness. Chocolate, rich, creamy, minerals abound.
