Bulang Shan Terrior
Bottomless Peat is a hong cha from Bulang Shan in Yunnan Province. It most prominently recalls the peat-smoked nuances of Islay Whisky (hence, the name). Harvested from tall trees of the large leaf variety, it maintains a bold character and soft, well-oiled mouthfeel across seemingly endless infusions. For those just beginning their journey into Dianhong, take your first step here.
