suggestions

[maldoror]

about to order more ripe daily drinker cakes.
i want to get 2 or 3 cakes and probably a couple bricks of 7562.
i'm shopping at the US sources...puerhshop and jas. trying to get it quicker.
here's a list of what i've tried. just looking to try out something different if anyone has any suggestions. i'd like to keep it around $75 for 3 cakes so around $25 average.
anything i need to try?

2008 Menghai "Da Yi Hong Premium Ripe" tea cake - 357 grams - 801 batch
2008 Dayi Red Makeup Pu-erh Tea Cake

Nope, definitely raw.

But a nice brick, IMO.

Nothing's leaping out at me from the list... I think I've had a couple of them. I don't recall any of them being especially bad...

Whoops, sorry about that...

The 2003 Golden Sail's a very good deal for 15 bucks:

The 7572 beeng is bound to be good as well.

Unfortunately, puerhshop does not carry any more of the one brick I was going to recommend...

You may have already placed your order, but it not...

the "golden needle, white lotus" is awesome for shu. The problem is that it costs the same as semi-aged sheng. If shu is your preference and you want quality, that's one of the best shu cakes that I've had.

Best comment with deep meaning behind it.

try the menghai dayi 7452. maybe two or three years old to make sure the stank (*ahem* wo dui odor) is out of it.
