Has anyone ever try this one? And what do you actually think of Feng-Quing factory? Ive heard a lot of good things about the bing and i also tried other teas from this factory. But a friend of mine have been to the factory last year and didnt anything good about it. Isuspect that he is just looking down on the small factory.

As for Feng Qing not being a large factory, they're big enough to have a "number" in the classic numbering system.
Kunming = 1
Menghai = 2
Xiaguan = 3
Feng Qing (or Lancang) = 4
etc.

Well, its a big factory - it is a very big and respected factory but they are famous for theis dian hong but not pu-erh. This is why some look down onit.

Anyway - have you tried it or not?

I can't speak for that cake, but I have a 2006 Feng Qing 7811 cake that is one of the three favorite cakes I own. A friend picked it up for me in Kunming and the only place I've seen it online is Grand Tea. I really want to get more, but I refuse to buy it from them because of their exorbitant prices (i.e. $37 when it should be about half of that).

The cake you're looking at is only $13.50, so if you're interested, give it a whirl!
