Hi guys, Its been a while. I wanted to see if anyone has sampled the various menghai raw cakes from dragon tea shop? I am looking for the very best menghai raw cakes they have. I have had the daughters cake and the five color peacock (from ysl). I know some of you use dragon, thoughts please?

I would wait for the 09 offerings. Perhaps with the bubble burst perhaps factories will have better access to better mao cha. I know I am.

I like dealing with Gordon at Dragon Tea. His Menghai cakes are the same as Scott's. I recently ordered
