2009 Liming HongYun Pu-erh

Pu-erh Tea by PuerhShop.com

A great valued, premium small 100 grams tea cake is flavoured with mellow, pure in aromatic smell. It brews a ruby red soup, sweet and thick. You could brew it without rinsing.

At half of the price against its counterpart, Hongyun cake by Menghai Tea Factory, Liming’s offering is of high collection value.

Decent cake that brews up clean no, bits to cloud the cup and it. This tea has a real viscosity to it, almost whipped cream like. It very much reminds me of some of the more popular/famous DaYi offerings like say a 7572. This tea gives a real sense of calmness, contemplative and almost sleepy feel to it. Actual size of the leaves are quite small and leaves are heavily processed and machine harvested. I have nothign bad to say about this tea. There are teas that I like better but it’s a good solid choice to explore puer.

Brewed gongfu in a gaiwan. Smooth and mellow ripe puerh but with a tad of earthiness in it even after a double rinse. Quality wise is hard to say as while it is better than the vast majority of cheap bricks and cakes out there it falls short of the premium quality mini-cake that it seems to imitate put out by Menghai.
