did you get it for free along with the off ebay discounts? Usually you only get a free cake when you order on ebay and only 7 of the same cake.

Exactly,
This will be my first cake of Ripe Pu-erh. :shock:
I don't know but I've been told... not start sampling until it's 2 years old. :roll:
To give it time to lose some of the harshness of manufacture.
I guess that could be true of all 2009 Pu-erh.
Anyway mines going into storage for a few years, plus or minus a month or 2.

Yes, but he isn't exactly gibing them away. $70-80 for '09 bings?

I know that China is notorious for strict internet censorship, but surely they must have caught wind of these two little bits of information-
  • the worldwide financial collapse
    the collapse of the pu'er bubble

Their '08 Star of Bulang damn near poisoned me. It had a very strong taste of pesticide. Godawful!

Too bad that the samples are expensive :( I have HLH star of bulang(which I really like:)) and the jing mai mountain brick(for a brick/price, decent), so no bad experience with them yet.

guess I'll wait until someone reviews them :/
