this is a sample i got from AllanK to compare to the same tea i got from Aliexpress seller couple years ago.
this tea also goes under different name of 2008 Menghai Dayi Song of Chi Tse

first couple steeps had the fermentation flavor that quickly gone.
The tea is rich, sweet and clean. i did enjoyed the same as i currently own. i havent noticed any difference, maybe only if i would do side by side. but i wasnt in the mood to drink a lot of shou today.
one thing i realized while its perfectly fine nice shou i didnt care much for it. it was …boring. My preference now is for large leaf shou. it lasts much longer and is generally more complex. Thats for today. My tastes keep changing.

I have the 2008 Menghai Dayi Song of Chi Tse from Berylleb. I only have steeped it up once. I liked the flavor in the tea, and for that reason I don’t personally find it boring, but I’m with you that it isn’t very complex. So, I was wondering if you could recommend any particular Shou(s)that is(are) complex? Extra points if its from a vendor where they don’t charge shipping and you can get in non cake quantities! (A great thing about Berylleb)

I will send you a message later with all my shou faves. I buy on ebay very rarely. there is no free ship actually, its included in price. plus i trust my dealers more than ebay sellers.
