2006 Changtai LMRM. Very clean storage, Bangwei material and notes of dried fruit in there. YiWu area so not a bunch of kicking in the mouth like I usually prefer.

2006 XiaGuan Xiao Ma FT7513. Made for Malaysian export. I think these were very tippy and made for only 2 runs I believe. Good notes and storage or blend make it seem like a budget Yan Qing Hao cake. Bitter, tart , citrusy, smoky, sweet in the finish. Very interesting.

i think it's fine

I agree that there should be no issue.

I think someone once referred to stuff like that as a "bonus prize." Was that you mrmopu? Probably some bit of rock, cement or dirt from processing. I prefer those to the chicken feathers, hairs or cigarette butts that I've found before :shock: Yeah probably. Either that or unexpected treasure! :mr...

Also, 2010 7572 looks like this: ./download/file.php?id=6787 I guess once they had a fake that's green and has the number 7572 on it, they decided that it was more plausible to pass it for a tea with the same color and a different number, than a tea with a different color entirely :D Good catch Ste...

FAKE as mentioned 7542 is a raw production 7572 is a shou and should have a red outer wrapper.

I think I am going to order one. How would I know that it is counterfeit? Do they fake those fancy hologrammed wrapper security seals too?

If you want to link the item for sale in here I can take a look and see if there any discrepancies on it that stand out. Wrapper, seals and so forth.

I am with octo that the pre-bubble 7542's are much better. I have a couple of these around but to be honest I like the Spring of Menghai and the 7532's a bit more. Just my preference though. And seeing how you liked the 2001 I would try and find another if you could. Any favorite source/year for Sp...

Teas We Like has a 2010 version of the 7542 that I quite like - very nice aroma with good stone fruit notes.

Wonder if rainy would like one of those HK style 8582's that I have?

Looks like you will have plenty to keep you busy for a while. Happy brewing!

LP will have the FTDY and cheaper than KTM too I think. He also bought the 2008 XG Kylin cakes too. L iquid P roust ? hmmm... while i (still) don't have the same customs issues with small US parcels... i fear the size of it ( the bigger the more it stands the higher chances to get stopped ), althou...

You mentioned your oolongs. If you don't mind my asking, what was your strategy for buying oolong for long-term storage? Of course i don't mind :) . Didn't find as much info about aging & selecting oolongs like there is about puerh although there's enough ... to reach the same crossroads you tend t...

@ Maerskian glad to hear those recommendations were close to the target for you. I don't know if I recommended the 2018 XG Fei Tai Da Yun or not. That is another I think people should consider as well.

That is a good looking stash! Looks like some pics of mine. I hope you don't run out of tea though....
