milky pu?

by jaderabbit » Feb 15th, '11, 23:55

I've been roaming around a bit on tea blogs and forums and have often heard of pu's with milk quality. Does this mostly occur with the aged stuff or could I get it from maybe the cooked variety too? I'm more of an instant gratification kind of kid, not too mention on a tight college student's budget. But I'd greatly appreciate some recommendations for milky and sweet aromatic pu!

I was told that Gong Ting (ripe) grades may have the milky 'nai xiang' taste after some aging.

Suspect only the '08. The '09 Hong Yuns aren't that good...

I take it that the milkiness is an elusive quality in pu'er. :lol:
