I'd like to show you my first real Pu Erh order. Got it on Friday from YS. So I am happily tea tasting for the whole weekend
Just a mini-Beeng, mini-bricks and a lot of samples.

Marco, have you tried already you Douji brick pu-erh? I have also bought one from YS - 2009 "Xiang Dou" Raw, the taste of this one was not so good, much of bitterness and in the smell much of ammonia after several infusions. Kind of disappointment, do not want to buy any Douji again.

You are doing well to get much of anything that's remotely drinkable at the prices those Xiang Dous cost. If you want to pay so little, I think Nanjian gives a better chance, but then I like lincang teas very much.

For something along the lines of quality offered by Menghai numbered series, look to Red/Blue Dadou, and maybe the Shangdous.

Their single mountain stuff is acceptable for the price, though if you're into paying around $40 for bings of that quality, you should definitely sample from Essence of Tea's homemade bings and see if you like any of those. They're the highest bang for buck for single mountain/region.

There are four different Douji bricks at YS. I didn't buy the "Xiang Dou". Mine are the "You Le Shan" and the "Red Yu Dou". These are mini bricks with 75g - didn't want to buy big portions of tea I do not know. First sample then buy more - that is what I have learned here
Didn' t try my bricks yet. All of them are 2009 - maybe to young. But I already tried Douji "Nan Nuo Wild Arbor" - I liked it, even it is 2009.

Cheers to Bears! Dayi 7452 has always been one of my favourite shu puer over the years. I simply like the mouthfeel, full flavour and rich aftertaste of this year 7452. Compared to last year 7452(901) I find this year 7452(001) has an edge in terms of pleasant earthiness, complexity and wholesomeness.

There seems to be quite a lot of classic ripe. Mind to list out those that are good/famous?

So far for classic I only have 7572, today tried 7452 (001) and seems quite good towards the light ripe side. Quite ready/easy to drink being a 001.
