i can't stand tuo's.
I never had one, I just think they look cool. Do you not like them because they are hard to get into?heavydoom wrote:i can't stand tuo's.
it's hard to pry apart a tuo, maybe it gets easier at time goes by as the tuo ages to primordial dust.shogun89 wrote:I never had one, I just think they look cool. Do you not like them because they are hard to get into?heavydoom wrote:i can't stand tuo's.
I have had to take a hammer and chisel to a tuo. It's like breaking rocks on the chain gang. On the other hand, I have had some mini ripe tuos that taste great and there's no need to break them since they are serving size. Unfortunately, some of the minis are pretty bad.heavydoom wrote: it's hard to pry apart a tuo, maybe it gets easier at time goes by as the tuo ages to primordial dust.
Hey Dizz, no need to apologize, sheesh, I am not like an authority on the subject. All of my comments are just opinions. If you like the stuff that is all that matters. I is very easy to get academic about tea. But as my friend Sal has said, "it's just tea".Dizzwave wrote:p.s. I am a fan of Xiaguan's sheng. I really like (and have a few of) the 2007 Jinsi (gold ribbon) tuocha, and just tried the 2008 Happy tuocha and will be getting more. My only complaint about their stuff is how tightly compressed it is, but I can get over that. $5 for one of these little bowls seems like a good price, and they're cute and fun.
Hop is more experienced than I am, but just my 2c! In fact...... Sorry Hop..... I don't like any of the recent Menghai sheng offerings that I've tried.

I had a sample of 1996 7542 that I liked enough to buy the 2005 recently at Puerhshop.shogun89 wrote: What are your opinions?

yeah, I just got to get one of those 7542 for aging, Its just one of those classics that you need for the collection. If I dont, some day I'll be kicking myself for it when the price reaches $300.Dizzwave wrote:Hehe, thanks, good point... it's just that.. you are so highly revered around here!hop_goblin wrote:Hey Dizz, no need to apologize, sheesh, I am not like an authority on the subject.

I've only tried a couple of recent Menghais, so perhaps I'll give them another chance anyway.. namely, that 7542 you guys are talking about.

Yep, I saw that, thats one reason why I am thinking about getting a few 2008's at 1/3 the price.tony shlongini wrote:I couldn't help but notice that the '05 Menghai 7542 went up ten bucks a cake at PS.
Boo.
Actually, it's up $12 since I bought mine in April!tony shlongini wrote:I couldn't help but notice that the '05 Menghai 7542 went up ten bucks a cake at PS.
