Sorry, must have puerhs are usually sold out or unreasonably expensive.

Must have classes of puerh?

Must-have aged Sheng: anything from Essence of Tea.

There must be are very good based teas that everyone should have in his possession and that are affordable? Especially when you take on recent vintages and take time off years to save teme ?

I'd be cautious about recommending any one vendor for someone's entirety of tea supply -- there's usually quite a range that not everything is for everyone.

I think the list of must have pu depends on what you're looking for and what you like. Just because someone else likes a tea doesn't mean you will -- you have to find your own "must have".

I completely agree! id poke around the pu forms and see what people are vaing about and grab as many samples as you see fit from various evndors that offer smaller samples..many do.. cause what I like..someone else will hate..and vice versa.. i havent yet aquired a taste for wet aged anything for instance

It was more of a joke, really. Although, I do think that samples from EoT would be a good placed to start in aged Sheng.

The question, however, related to storing young Sheng for future consumption. There's no must-have label/brand. It seems to me that anyone's guess is just speculation.

If you can recommend to me a must-have music CD or a must-read non-religious book, then I can recommend to you a must-have puerh

A teashop owner said, one must have to at least drink and keep some MengHai 7542 pre 2004. He said that is the standard for all Raw Pu.

I didn't listen to him

Most teashop owners are one step above real estate agents and used car salesmen. Glad you're not too much of a sucker

No, because it is the "best of the beast" from Iron Maiden . hehe

As you can see, different people, different tastes

Over here, price has increased nearly 300% since it was released last year only.

Possible because of this guy's review...
