Puerh ShopI have a sample from Yunnan Sourcing. I’m not 100% sure that it’s the same tea, but I’m too lazy to add a separate entry right now. If it’s wrong, LMK and I will move the review.
ANYWAYS, this was a sample from my lovely MzPriss. I’m digging it lots. I am in my tea nook, so I’m using water that’s just under boiling. No fermentation ughy flavors here. I’m on a pretty serious tea probation after my Verdant shenanigans, but I would really love a brick of this.
Smooth, leathery, slightly cool finish, a little toasted wood. It’s campfirey! I wish I had s’mores now.
This tea was good but not great. It had no fermentation flavor left. It was sweet with a mild taste of camphor. It was also a cheap brick. It was nothing special, just aged well. I liked it a lot but probably not enough to buy the whole thing as I only bought 100g of it.
I brewed this 5 times in a 207ml Taiwan Clay Teapot with 8g leaf and boiling water. I steeped it for 15 sec, 10 sec, 15 sec, 20 sec, and 30 sec. Overall it was quite good but not the incredible tea I was hoping for. It had no bamboo flavor which I had tasted in another similarly aged tea.
Flavors: Camphor
I loved this one so much that a brick coming my way. I’m getting it fr YS, don’t want to take any chances fr other sources
Who put you on probation?
boychik – I am enjoying it, but I just don’t know about the cost…
AllanK – I did. I have more tea than I’ll drink in the next several years. So I am trying to only buy samples and then just pick up the few things I love. I went overboard with Verdant tho for CM. The sale was just too good…
How strong was the aged flavor? Sometimes it can be like bamboo and very strong.
Allan, I didn’t get any bamboo flavor. For me it was strong dried persimmons. And strong cha qi
Sarcy, I think it’s $75
I think I saw it somewhere cheaper but really don’t want to take any chances. storage could be different. It may not be the same
I may get a sample from DTH and see how it compares to the one sold from YS
DTH sells it for 17.99. I doubt it can be the same tea unless YS is overcharging.
Yeah, seems unlikely. I want to try it anyway tho :p
Let us know how it is if you buy it. I am thinking about putting in an order with DTH so maybe I will buy a sample but I think I want to put in a Puerhshop order first. They have a LBZ that I want to try for about $80.
I did not remember that I have drank this tea. My review is right on the tea page. I honestly don’t remember buying it. I think I bought a sample but am unsure.
I have the one from DTH.
