Anyone have any particular 2007 (or about then) shu pu favorites? Ideally, things that are currently available. I'm trying to space out my shu collection by five years for comparison and it seems like there are a few options out there. Obviously, most things from this period are going to be classic factory blends. I'm currently looking at some of the Bitterleaf options from 05 and 06.

Just had some 2007 GNWL tonight. Sadly, not available anymore on the English-speaking part of the web. I'd give this one a shot. I used to drink the 2007 version a lot back in the day, but that's now gone too.

I had the Dayi 7452 in the past (i think it was 2008 one) which was very nice:

PS. Tuochatea have a few interesting options too, such as http://www.tuochatea.com/menghai-hong-zhuang-p293/
but i havent tried any of those.

I've heard good things from more than one person about the 05 7581 that bitterleaf carries, good price too, haven't had it myself though.
Lately Ive been drinking the traditional storage 2006 7581 tealife.hk carries which I've been enjoying very much, I dont drink a lot of shu so I tend to only keep a couple at hand at a given time and restock when i've run out, this one has been getting smaller steadily

I like this 2006 Fuhai 7576. It's sold out, but second batch is still available.

I also like this 2006 Denong brick. Has a unique flavor, doesn't steep long though.

After that I might suggest 2009 Big Classic Remote Mtn Old Tree. The price increased since I bought though, so perhaps sample first.
