Earlier I noticed that but that is OK. I'll probably get one cake next month as I have spent quite a bit of money on tea lately.

Re: Official Pu of the day
At the moment I have a 7542 (1601) in the humidor (surprise, surprise ) letting it rehydrate a bit. At the time I also bought the high mountain (Dayi GaoShanYunXiang) 2016 as well and it is also resting a bit.jayinhk wrote:That is true.

Jing Mai 2013 from Tea Urchin. An elegant tea as Dr. Jim calls it in the website. Very clear and slightly bitter first steeping. Mostly gushu leaves with a very nice aroma. Looking forward to the next steepings.

Re: Official Pu of the day
2011 Autumn Yang Ta (Jinggu)
Dominant savory notes of meat broth and lightly smoked black forest ham (closer to the bone), with some slightly sweet dates and darker, dried apricots peeping through here and there, especially in the long aftertaste. Interesting dynamics, good balance and strong salty minerality. Nothing too special going on in the somatics department, the mouthfeel is just OK, but I somehow regret I didn't buy more when it was still available.

The Year of the Monkey is supposed to be good too. The Old Tree Round I would pass on for a few years till it ages more.

Re: Official Pu of the day
I get to pay China prices, and since I'm in the biz now i may buy a case of 7542 for the long haul!

There are few Year of the Monkey cakes from different manufacturers going around.mr mopu wrote:The Year of the Monkey is supposed to be good too. The Old Tree Round I would pass on for a few years till it ages more. I wasn't impressed by it much at all.
Of the two sheng cakes produced by Dayi to celebrate the year of the Monkey I prefer the tea from the 800gms cake.

Re: Official Pu of the day
Good luck, Jay. 7542 is one of the very few shengs that reliably give me the jitters, no matter from what year or how it has been stored.jayinhk wrote:I get to pay China prices, and since I'm in the biz now i may buy a case of 7542 for the long haul!
