Thanks for the reply Robert. I saw them in 2005 and still hitting my head not getting them. They should be 6 in a bing, with 6 famous mountains all included per bing if I remember correctly? The maocha and the stone pressing was very refined and chociest. Very lucky you... I do wish I could have taste them back then
its 6 bing in a tong and each bing for each mountain.[/quote]
Thanks for the correction Phuarobert. Too late here for me...
So how many tongs are you hiding from our sight

Both of those cakes are excellent, and I especially enjoyed the Huang Yin.

I am very impressed with this tea! It is a great value, $10 per cake is very inexpensive considering the quality. As others have mentioned it is similar to a Dayi cake, very potent. The cake is made of nice material, easily pried apart, I believe it is stone pressed. The brew has a very nice strong aroma. The liqueur is nice with a long finish. Overall very happy that I have a tong as I think it will age wonderfully. Highly recommended. nice job Jim!

Glad to hear it, shogun! I bought some of this tea, too, but haven't yet gotten around to tasting it. I need to get to get my act together and press forward...
