I'm not much of a shu pu drinker anymore but my mother in law really likes it and she regularly wants to drink some with me.
Since my only decent brick is nearing it's end, I wonder if any of you have some Taobao/Yunnan Sourcing/any other China based shop recommendations for bricks and cakes that don't taste too much like ashtray or medicinal and have a well rounded sweetish taste with some oh so subjective cha qi.
The only reference to something ripe I recently liked is the 1996 CNNP "Green Mark Te Ji", however I'd prefer something in the 30ish dollar range maximum.

An Xiang shu definitely has qi, and it is sweet, but it does not transition to sweet flavors like caramel like other quality shu does, and it can be thin.

People have been happy with that one...
I'll leave it there. There are not that many reasonably priced shu that has qi.

Thanks, got that one along with a couple other YS samples. Usually can't go wrong with YS quality.shah82 wrote: http://www.yunnansourcing.com/store/pro ... oduct=1951
