From Puerh Shop

The cake is made by using Bada materials from Menghai area.

This cake is very tightly compressed and would be a good one to age. The flavor is a “subtle” richness that is very rich and enjoyable. Rich dark infusions with no noticeable wou dei taste. A wonderful cup of tea. I will be getting another to age as I think this cake will be drunk quickly! This is my first taste of a Bada mountain tea and it gets a ‘thumbs up’. Very nice.

Hi lukep, “wou dei” is the barnyard aroma and licorice taste in a lot of recent fermented shou. Big factories like Dayi will “hold” young shou till this aroma/taste subsides. Usually about 6 months to a year. You can still buy young shou but I always let it sit for a year till I try it.

Oh no Lukep, it is ready now with nothing off about the cake I got.

I haven’t gotten to the middle yet but I would think it would be the same as the outside.

Blind bought a cake of this shou because it was cheap and reviewed favorably by mrmopar. This tea has the darkest flavors of any I’ve tried for sure. Nothing fruity, nutty, or sweet. Just pure, dark, relatively intense richness.

Mouthfeel is thick and nice. No bitterness and trace astringency. 12+ infusions. No noticeable aftertaste.

A blind purchase well done! Glad I followed mrmopar’s opinion on this one :).

Also, if anyone would like to try any of the teas I’ve got, I’d be glad to swap some samples – just DM me!

A good example of a puerhshop ripe everyday drinker. I find that it has no distinguishing features, but has a fine flavor, a bit acidic, deep and earthy, and a pretty good caffeine kick. A solid performer for the price, though nothing special.
