Another sample so once again this review is based upon a single session. Nothing really stood out to me as that remarkable of this tea as it is more of a standard young sheng that one can drink young without being overwhelmed with harshness. The only thing that stood out was when I forgot about in infusion that the result was stronger but still very drinkable.

Snow Mountain Ancient Tree Green Pu-erh Tea Cake (雪山古树青饼)
I knew better I needed to bring in a few great Mengku teas, and this was one of them.
The tea was made of early 2012 Spring ancient tree materials from Mengku, the village name was never released, by a guru level tea veteran, in a very limited production. If you favor a GENUINE Mengku tea that made in a traditional fashion (not some new processing method by baking or whatever), this is your pick.
I would say a lot of people shall love this tea for its pretty yellowish broth, and great taste. And let me add that it should be a great candidate for aging.
