The box safely arrived and holy crap that is so much tea. I have only had one. The "Happy" Tuocha from Dizzwave and it was fantastic I am definately going to order one or two :). I'm pretty busy with finals stuff so I doubt I'll get to try many oh welll. I wanted to have the 1990 Fang Cha Zhuan that Salsero put in. I pretty much have only had 3-4 year old puerh. Any advice on brewing older Sheng? Anything special that you have to do?

Take your time and enjoy the box IMHO. I brew older pu the same as young ... following the tea where it takes me mostly. Start out short and see how it goes.

Alright I used the sheng times in the most recent thread and all I have to say is YUM. It tasted pretty mellow but made me high 8) Sometimes with puerh my head goes to lalla a land and i act different. I'm not sure what it is about puerh.

I've concluded that I like younger Sheng (04-06) the most as I like the Honey notes and tend to dislike some of the off tastes of shu that really show through if you brew it wrong.

Hey dev, I'm with you there.. I love a good young sheng. I also love the 5-10 year range. Come to think of it, I love the older stuff too, but I have only had it a few times. I guess my tastes will grow as my stash ages.
Anyway, I'm glad you liked the Happy tuo!

I second Sal's suggestion, take your time. Or, just take out a bunch of tea, send the box on its way, and *then* take your time. :)

The box has arrived in the holy land of Mississippi. Holy krap...

I put it on the household postal scale (yeah, what of it...) and it weighed in at 3.75 lbs. :shock:

Brew it all up in one of those turkey frying things. Just remember to keep the first few infusions short. And remember to keep the temp very hot.
