These little nuggets are so creamy and sweet.
I so wish I had hoarded them. But they are sold out now sadly :-(
Simple tea, but so comforting and soothing.
The taste is rich and deep, vanilla and raisins mostly.Sweet caramel undertones, but I also get a nice fresh mouthfeel at the end of the sip.
For those who like me are very sad to see it gone, here’s what I think could replace it, though I haven’t tried it yet, but it seems to be the 2013 version.

Thank you sweet boychik, much appreciated. And no hijacking, just sweet information :-)
YS’s “Cha Tou Sheng Yun” Bricks are the same stuff as this, material from the same exact factory from different years (the 2009 brick is actually made from these exact 2007 nuggets), I have the 2012 brick ( http://yunnansourcing.com/en/2012-yunnan-sourcing-teas/2081-2012-yunnan-sourcing-cha-tou-sheng-yun-ripe-pu-erh-tea-brick.html ) and it’s pretty much exactly the same just a little less aged though good to drink now, same sleep-inducing narcotic qi as these too. The 2013 yongde brick is from a different factory and is blended with loose shu too, I haven’t had it myself yet but supposedly it tastes pretty different.
@ sansnipple, thanks for letting us know. i bought 2007 White Dragon last spring based no your recommendation ;)
oh goodie! Thanks sansnipple!!!
Thanks a lot @sansnipple , will sure add a brick on my next YS order :-)
the 2009 brick with these exact nuggets is still available on the US site too, but sadly it’s price is twice as much as the younger ones.
