I’m finally tasting the 2014 version! Thanks for the sample Garret
Well, this is a delicious sheng. Not the same as 2012…no smoke at the beginning, a little more bold. Still VERY enjoyable though with a great energy! I’m glad to report that it is a suitable replacement for the last harvest :)
I still plan to use the rest of my sample to do a side by side comparison! Then I should be able to write a better note! :D Fun!!

I should get some of this while I still have some of the previous one, so I can compare them :) I’m way overdue for a Mandala order anyway, & thanks to online itunes sales, I actually have some money in my playpal account!
Great to know, Stephanie…I’m still sipping on my 2012, but those days are almost gone :-(
I ordered another 2012 cake that I may hoard forever and ever, lol.
I love them both. I love the 2012 version so dearly and was certainly anxious to see what the autumn 2013 mao cha would turn into once pressed. I dig it. Totally drinkable now. And yes… waaaaay less smoke, due to processing and time of year it was harvested. Lots to hold my interest in the new pressing, for sure. So excited that I could make another pressing happen.
It’s fun to get down with the Wild Monk no matter what vintage. Sometimes, it’s the only thing that makes sense, am I right?
We have only a few tongs left of the Wild Monk 2012. One of them is mine :)
Grooviness to you all,
Garret
