I'm interested in this due to the color and price. This will be part of my second order from puerhshop.com and I'm still a pu'erh n00b, so I wanted to get some educated opinions before I placed an order. I thoroughly enjoyed the previous suggestions I got here. I did a search and didn't get any results pertaining to this tea. The description sounds very intriguing!
thanks!

I agree with Tom and Tony, sheng is something you can stray away from the bigger companies more, but with shu and the way it is processed... well I just wouldn't trust some random factory. When your talking shu pu, I say stick with the factories that know how to do it and have been perfecting it since its beginning.

Definitely a little pricey on a per-gram basis. That's sort of why I'm eyeballing it. I see it as an opportunity to sample some "high end" stuff, and have enough around to enjoy for a while.
:edit after subsequent replies:
ah. I did not know that this particular factory isn't one of the more established producers. I will be taking that into consideration.

Please keep in mind that "high end" does not equal higher price all the time. In fact, a lot of pu heads around here are more your "bargain" shopper, looking for those really good items that arent really all that expensive.zipflint wrote:Definitely a little pricey on a per-gram basis.

They're not bad at all, and hard to beat the price. It's hard to find $3 samples, let alone a 100g tuo.shogun89 wrote:Are these nice, I haven't tried them yet? A good price, after doing the math an qual ammount of it in a cake would cost $10.6.tony shlongini wrote:you may want to try the very nice Nanjian phoenix tuo- a whopping $2.99 for a very nice tuo of shu.

If I had my choice you can't really go wrong with XiaGuan Xiao Fa or under its better known name the XiaGuan Tuocha For Export.
Don't always believe what you think!
