=== History of Tea Cultivation ===

The history of tea cultivation in Bulang Shan spans over a thousand years. The Bulang people, one of the earliest ethnic groups in the region, are credited with some of the first domestication and cultivation of wild tea trees. The area is home to numerous ancient tea trees, some believed to be over 1,000 years old. These ancient plantations are considered living relics and are integral to the cultural heritage of tea production in Yunnan.

=== Tea Ceremony ===

The Bulang tea ceremony is renowned for its unique and distinctive method of tea preparation. In this ceremony, the teas are roasted before infusion using hot charcoal. Instead of heating a vessel, the tea leaves are directly mixed with the hot charcoal and roasted in this manner. Continuous movement of the leaves prevents them from burning and ensures an even roast. After achieving the desired level of roasting, the hot pieces of charcoal are carefully removed using chopsticks. The roasted tea leaves are then infused, resulting in a richly flavored brew that embodies the traditions of the Bulang people.
