This is a wonderful daily drinker. The cake is composed on small thin curls. The cake is an array of fall colors and carries the typical sweet Menghai scent. I broke a chunk and placed in my warmed yixing and gave it a shake. The Menghai charter arose from my brewing vessel. I could take in sweet aromas with slight vegetal scents. I washed the leaves once and prepared for brewing. The session started as sweet with a slight tang. The brew was floral, syrupy, and light hay. The brew grew a little bitter with some heavier green wood tones. This drink kept a consistent tarnished bronze colour. The taste was not complex, but it was a steady sweet and tang. I really enjoyed this, and it is unbeatable for its price. The leaves were mostly whole and combined with a mixture of buds attached. I will be picking up more of this tea for some daily drinking. I also agree with this company, for this is a wonderful introductory brew for puerh newbies. In fact, I will be giving this out to some people I am trying to convert to the Sheng side, hahah.

Bio

Young and experienced Tea consumer. I’m continuously learning and developing knowledge about tea. If I have learned anything at all from the world of tea it is that I do not know anything about the world of tea. I enjoy good tea, and I try to acquire the best of the best. I usually brew gongfu but I’ve been known from time to time to resort back to western brewing.

I have an Instagram (haveteawilltravel), and I am proud of my photographs. I use my pictures in my reviews,and I hope that they aid in portraying the beauty of tea and teaware.

Tea Rating System:
I rate my teas based on the category they fall into (Puer, Red, Oolong, Darjeeing, Flushes, Yancha… etc.)
This means that I will rate a Oolong based on how it stands up as a quality Oolong. I try not to compare teas, rather I work to evaluate them on their craftsmanship, harvest, processing, and qi.

I am most strict with Shou and Sheng Puerh, only because of the vast expanse of various experiences, such as; region, vintage, production, processing, etc.
