My SAL orders have taken anywhere from 11 days to 3 1/2 weeks. Patience.

Even if 2009 doesn't turn out to be a legendary year for pu'er production, I don't see how you can go wrong with those.
That's what I figured so I have six tongs in transit for the store.

Cheers,
Steve
Good tea drinking,

I've just seen the latest 2009 Menghai 8582 <901>:

http://www.51puer.com/goods.php?id=1455

It come out just before the end of this year! It said it was made on 22 May 2009, I wonder why it takes so long to come out? Another place I saw selling it for 23.8 RMB per cake.

Also, the latest DTH offering of Menghai Bulang 2009 seems interesting.

Do you mean you don't like 7542 <901>? If that is the case, I'm sorry to hear that as you have a few of those cakes. :(

Its alright, Im hoping that they can improve... I have 4, so its not too big a deal. I'll just give them some time then make judgments. I'd still love a tong of '08 8582.
