Just getting started with sheng cakes. All I had before was loose and tou shu.

This one belongs to a friend but it lives in my cupboard / pumidor.



This one is all mine.



There are pics on my website's forum http://www.beanleafgrape.com/forum under the Pu-Erh section if you care to see.

any particular reasons for picking those pu erh cakes/bricks?

they're pretty? too much money laying around? bored? army of thirsty little teachatters tied him up and threw him on his keyboard? random blindfolded selection?

Gee whiz, you ask hard questions. I guess I could just refer you to GGU's answer, but the fact is that there are different reasons for different purchases.

Had samples and liked them:

• 2004 Huali Premium Ripe Pu-erh Tea Brick
  2007 Bulang Spring Buds

Curious because of discussion in this forum (probably all started by "you know who"89):

• 2008 American Hao 0801

BBB had a kind word in this blog:

• 2007 Mengku Arbor Pu-erh Tea Cake

Wesli loved a previous year (sold out) of this cake and maybe this one will also be good:

• 2007 Golden Melon Tribute Tuocha

I liked the 1998 (sold out) and hope I like this one:

• 2000 HTC Pu-erh Tea Cake 2 oz

Curious to try Douji brand (?) from Yiwu Zhengshan Tea Company (because of what Jim wrote):

• 2006 Douji Yiwu Mountain sampler
  2008 Douji Shangdou Pu-erh Tea Brick
  2008 Douji Dadou Pu-erh Tea Brick

Liked the 2007 Jingmai Mountain Spring, wanted to try another Jingmai, and the one Jim suggested won't be in till later this month:

• 2005 Jingmai Wild Arbor

Looked interesting:

• Aged Premium Puerh Tea Tasting Sample (20 gr)
  2004 Fengqing Loose Leaf shu

I'm always looking for the perfect mini-tuocha (BTW, this isn't it):

• 2006 Xiaguan Mini Tuocha

Can't remember! (someone, maybe "you know who"89, may have recommended it...or maybe Bubba_Tea):

• Rongzhen 9878 Ripe
