A premium 500 grams tea cake is flavoured with mellow, pure in aromatic smell. It brews a ruby red soup, sweet and thick.

A great buy for someone who’s only had bad, fishy shu pu’er, Dayi’s Yunxiang cake redeems the name of shu. And for any doubters, this tea’s traits define why I love Menghai Factory shu pu above all others and worth its price. When I’m in the market again for cooked tea, this cake is on my list.

Notes: Malt, clean, walnuts, soil, dried bamboo, grains, black pepper, sweet, winter squash, rocky.

Other features: stronger on sides of tongue, one infusion left a tingly feeling on my tongue, no acidity or awkward flavors even when infusions cool down.

First cake from the big batch of pu we just received. Did this one gongfu and it’s very good. Probably the best ripe I’ve had thus far.

Tastes even better than usual in my new Yixing pot. This is the smallest one I have, around 4.5 oz. Got about 5 or 6 out of around 4.5-5g of leaf.

This tastes extra good today – I brewed it on my new tea table/tray. It’s really a thing of beauty.

I was on vacation last week and didn’t have any tea that was worth drinking, let alone any good shou. This tastes extra good today!

Starting the week out right with some shou pu (deja vu).

Starting the week out right with some shou pu.

Didn’t have any tea this weekend, and I’m rather enjoying this shou this morning.

This was very good prepared gongfu as usual. I’m enjoying all the steeps despite being on sort of a shou overload. I’ll try something different tomorrow at any rate.
