The shop doesn't offer a lot of sheng, but I decided to try this 2005 CNNP red ribbon cake and this 2009 yiwu brick (which has since gone up $1 in price
).I tried the CNNP earlier in the week. It was decent, nothing too special, but not too bad for the price (free shipping, too). I'm trying the brick right now, and I'm enjoying it a lot. Older than its age would suggest, but still strong in youthful qualities... has that flavor profile that reminds me of autumn leaves.
On both, not sure I would buy more, but these purchases turned out pretty well for the price.
I also picked up this little clay jar, as I liked the phoenix on the sides. I was curious about one thing on it: the dark clay parts have a 'sheen' to them -- is there some sort of glaze on the clay? It's really hard to tell (clearly the lighter-colored portion has been etched or something).
Anyway, just thought I'd share in case anybody was curious about the shop, and also was wondering if anybody had tried anything from there in order to compare.
