Holy s**t those leaves are fat..

Any ole rainwater tea will have "fat" looking leaves.

Shah82 - Its early spring tea though
Mostly fat buds. Best looking cake I have ever bought.

Mind posting another link. I can't seem to get it to load

Grainy goodness from the 2012 Chawangpu Yiwu Zhangjiawang Gushu today.

Very pleasant session with YS 2010 Autumn Bang Dong. Rather nice cake this one. Coating the mouth well and a good solid qi.

Where did it come from?

More of the 2011 Yi Wu purple sheng from YS today, the end of the sample. I see a beeng or two in my future.

I got one with my last order, it's quite good!

Really very good! After a year of storage here... it was too bitter and "empty" before that. But the tea has good potential, no doubt. It's really a nice, "solid" Mengku, sort of like some of the better Xiaguans, except without smoke and too much woodiness. It's a bit like circa 2003-4 8653, but frankly better.

Have you tried the 1999 YQH bricks that where pressed in 07?
They where available awhile back on Taobao but I couldn't work up the nerve to buy one. They had 1 kilo and 500 gram bricks and a 250 gram tuo.

The 2004 is good but very light. I think that it will be a good tea to blend with in the future.

On Taobao? Rather strange for YQH to be on Taobao.
I haven't tried that brick, and nor am I likely to given their new prices.

Yang had a shop there, where he sold some really beautiful metal teaware and stunning tenmochi cups. Just a few items of tea, of which aged maocha pressed Yiwu bricks were one. Think it shut down about a year and a half ago.

Well might as well...since YQH's prices for their better stuff are now outright unaffordable...and I'm not talking tongs, I'm talking single cakes.
