Oh, I know...Cloud said 1993, I believe. I'm just happy to see more people commenting who's been at it since before 2005. There aren't that many of those.

Just had the YS 2011 Wu Liang Shan sample today. I really enjoyed the first few brews. I'm still too new at this, so it's hard for me to describe the experience. The fragrance was very pleasant and the tea was refreshing and sweet. There was however not too much of an after taste I was expecting from old trees. Also after 6 or 7 brews, the tea started to taste pretty flat, maybe I should brew it longer. Other that, the tea was very tasty.

I also liked the YS Autumn Bang Ma Scott threw in as a free sample. The after taste was deep and long.

"Mu Shu Cha" Ancient Arbor Raw Pu-erh tea cake YS 2011
Just got some new cakes in from Scott. I do try to get at least one cake of each offering as they never let me down and very good value! This cake is so beautiful for fresh young sheng. I have had 3 pots to date and have not yet got to the other cakes yet. I just want more of this. Yep I think I will order another cake. Scott is on a roll.

2011 Yunnan Sourcing "Nan Po Zhai" Ancient Arbor. I got to try this new cake and all I can say Scott hit another home run with this offering. I can not overly recommend this young sheng enough. This one will be in my cart again. :D
