Pu’erh TTB 2015 Tea #7
Thanks AllanK for putting this in the box after I made the request. The 2012 Wild Monk still has a memory associated for me because it has continued to be the best of what I have tried in regards to the wild variation of sheng (with Repave as the non). While this may be smoother than the YS tea I had today and only a year old, the taste just isn’t as explosive as the 2012 was. This sample was exactly what I wanted before I shelled out lots of money for a few cakes; I still find it odd that a small ‘higher’ quality cake doesn’t seem to have the flavor that a cheaper cakes has. Maybe the price is for the material?
i find some cheap cakes to have a fishy smell/taste on top of the dui wui (aka fermentation taste)
Let’s get you some of the 2015 wild monk that just arrived and see how it compares for you.
I could buy a cake and split it up for some people :)
I’m waiting for that umpf that the 2012 had
