haiwan 908

Hi,

dragon tea house store recomended me this cake when I asked them for something like a mengku ripe cake (the 2005 gold award if I don't remember bad).

Anyone can ask me something about it taste?

regards

judging by the image of the cake, that is probably the correctly correlated cake. How good it is at doing the things that the Mengku is, is another question altogether.

Haiwan seems to get most of their material from Menghai, while Mengku, from Mengku. Mengku shu has a more bark, TCM character than Menghai shu, which softer and soil-ier.

I suggest, though, that you try the Liming Stairway to Heaven shu rather than the Haiwan 908.

Haiwan 908 200g cakes, old ones are nice, since 2011 (2011. 2012. 2013). the quality and taste look not the same, not taste like 2008-2010.
Mengku 2005 small ripes cakes...are very different in taste. Mengku Rongshi 2005 shu was not nice (there was something wrong in the fermentation but now these teas can be drinkable, just not so nice), look for their early production sheng puer around 2005.
But as like Shan82 wrote, Mengku and Menghai teas taste very different
