Thanks guys, I think this is on my top list of the most contrasty Pureh ( since I'm in the visual art businessnetsurfr wrote:Have not tried a white pu-erh like the one shown. Need to put that on my list of things to try. Thanks for sharing the great pics!
Netsurfr, just curious, which other white Pureh you'd tried before?

Actually, have not tried a white pu-erh so that is why I probably need to try one.TIM wrote:Thanks guys, I think this is on my top list of the most contrasty Pureh ( since I'm in the visual art businessnetsurfr wrote:Have not tried a white pu-erh like the one shown.

2005 Xiaguan Ancient Wild Tree Uncooked Pu-erh tea
I have not extensively experimented with this tea but I like it.
"Xiaguan tea factory produced this from leaves picked from 700+ year old Pu-erh trees growing in the Baoshan region south of Dali. The leaves are dark and uniform in size (quite large). An impeccable uncooked Pu-erh with a bold taste free of the bitterness of less aged Pu-erh trees. Hand-made cake!"
cheers,
Steve

Sal, I will give more info about that Teacher He's cake during a session I have with it maybe tomorrow. I've gotten 2 very nice sessions so far and was impressed. Sampan is on ebay and he is very helpful. Most of the stuff ordered comes from his connect in Taiwan (for example a 99' 7542 that I have been waiting on forever)... the other part of my order came directly from Sampan man already from Montreal. The 2 samples were gifts with that order. I think they were given for being so tardy. I think it will be worth the wait though.
Anyways, since I had already started with the camera and was in the mood I took some pics of my little cake collection.
Aaaand here is my baby from Houde that I have a hard time leaving alone... I really wanted to age him. I think I can I think I can.
Time is a stripper...
Doin it just for you

That is some great tea pr0n there! 
Those look like the Nannuo and Menghai Peacock cakes there. I was quite impressed with the Menghai and Thanks loved the mouth feel of the Nannuo. Right now I am drinking the Bulang which is pretty impressive in its first couple shots. I am going to have to go back to try the Nannuo again. I got the sampler of all five Peacocks and it is a great way to go. /Me loves samples.
I am getting excited about Sampan!

hmm, the top right is a liming menghai from YSSL ... the mtn was not indicated. Is that red color from Nannuo?
And yes, the one under it is Menghai 05' from Houde
Sampan has been very kind with great customer service. You have to inquire about pricing for some whole cakes... though they are not expensive for the age compared to Houde.
