Drinking some 2006 De He Xing I recently got from adventureineverycup, I feel only now it has settled from the air travel and re-humidified nicely.
Nice aged taste with some strong bitterness, just how I like it :D

2006 Changtai cake made to commemorate the 65th anniversary of a HK tea company. Aged in Hong Kong by a different old school dealer who is friends with the company (Tong An) that the cake was pressed for.



WOW. The Simao material used for this cake has aged wonderfully. Some light bitterness remains, but the tea has mellowed without losing all of the origin character the leaf had to begin with. Of course some of the character has been lost to the years, but enough remains to make this tea readily discernable from any other HK/Guangdong stored sheng I've tried from the 2000s. Good enough that I may have to pick more up to put away for a few more years. It is really good right now as is, however, and would just mellow further with a couple more years. I really like the point its at now since it's so unique and has aged so differently. Sometimes it's hard to tell where a tea will end up with age, but the base material had the durability to age into something quite special.

Hi teaforum!

I'm glad to be in touch
with all the lovers of the passion that we
unites in the day to day.

Right now I have tuned the palate of Lao Tong Zhi Mini Tuo Cha of 2007 (shu)
2007 Lao tong zhi mini tuo cha of pressed in tablets of 6gr. Made from leaves of the variety "daye" processed to maocha, fermented and pressed later. Recipe commemorating the inauguration of the factory in the year 1999.

One of the two former managers of the Menghai factory is the founder of Haiwan. During the 1970s these two people were pioneers in developing the method for fermented puerh. That is to say that the process of fermentation of the puerh is very similar to the process that is realized in the factory of Menghai.

Mixed leaf puerh following the factory's recipe and stored since 2007 in Xi Shuang Ban Na dry. From 2017 its aging will be in Barcelona. Infusion of dark brown, opaque and dense red. In the mouth it has a body, slightly drying with notes of wood, earth, leather, ... without notes to humidity.


A pleasure

Today I drank a 2006 Fuhai 7536, got it as a free sample from my latest order, last time I tried it the water wasn't the best so this was like the first real tasting.

Tight compression. The heated dry leaf smelled like roasted apples and clove, really nice and autumnal.

The first infusions after it opened up were very bitter as I would expect from a tightly compressed factory tea, reminded me of those sour green apple gummies but there was clearly sweetness behind it, as the infusions went on was like turning an equalizer, gradually as the bitter knob was lowered the sweetness one was turned up, very dynamic experience, would like to try this tea a few years down the road, too bad I only have one more session left :?

2017 Yunnan Sourcing “Rooster King”, a blend of ripe puerh teas from 6 different regions in Yunnan (Yong De, Mengku, Menghai, Jingmai, Bu Lang and Jing Gu), with vintages ranging from 2014 to 2016. A really enjoyable session with notes of charred wood, earth, dark roast espresso and black cherry.

1999 Menghai region loose shou puer. Perfect on a cool autumn morning. Smooth with a nice aged aroma. Lacking in stamina however.

Drinking aged cha tou from a dealer in Kunming! Cha tou are compressed nuggets of shou pu that form at the bottom of the pile during fermentation. I really love cha tou because they have great longevity and often develop very interesting warm and sweet flavors with age. These cha tou have developed a freshly baked bread aroma in the last year of storage here in Hong Kong, as well as an unexpected natural almond character that I really like! The tea is perhaps less sweet smelling than it was when first purchased, but there is still a lot of sweetness there, along with the baked bread and almonds!

I started this tea last night, drank several infusions today, and I think the leaves have enough oomph to get me through tomorrow as well!
