Hm, well, the 2006 cakes are very delicious, I've had the yin and yang cakes (misnamed) Banzhang Natural Habitat and a few other specially selected cakes. I personally think that while exceptional for green sheng, the price per cake is too high for something so young - so I've sampled his offerings and moved on.

Since then he has decided to partner with his factory to produce much larger quantities of bings based on standard Menghai recipes. This might include better leaf then the Dayi counterpart, but they aren't the limited production artisan cakes of just a few years ago.

Me thinks they are ok. Honestly, their first few years were the best IMHO

More often than not, too expensive for what it is.
