Puerh Vendor Topic
I order a healthy sampling of Tea Encounters 2019 line up and next month Yiwu Mountain Tea. I've been so enamored with Essence of Tea raw puerh I almost ignored my own wishlist.
Jakkambuna has quite in depth reviews/tasting notes on his instagram account.

Anyone have any recommendations for a late 90's - 2003 puer cake that's less than ~$600 USD?
I'm halfway through 2001 Menghai Tea Factory 7432 from Teas We Like (quite happy with the tea for the price) and should start researching my next conquest before I run out.
The only important criteria is that I don't think I'm really a fan of camphor tasting notes.

Has anyone ever tried the 2011 Xiaguan Huang Jin Yun from Liquid Proust? He's a sale going on and I think it fits with what I'm looking for - slightly aged sheng that is ready to drink now, but can also be aged for 5-10 years. Any thoughts?

Has anyone tried any of the aged puer from Taiwan Sourcing? I posted about it on Reddit and didn't get much - they have some interesting looking stuff

I actually don't have much experience with Taiwan stored raw - I have an order of the Nanqiao Bulang King from TWL, so I'm looking forward to trying that. I'm on the lookout for sampling/buying mid-aged sheng (>12 years old) to ensure I have a good stock of aged puer in 10-15 years.StoneLadle wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 7:55 amDo you like Taiwan stored aged raw PE?...

Taiwan storage is usually done well if maintained properly. I have a lot of stuff stored there that taste really fine to me. Not as wet as the mainland can be.
I highly reccomend, puerhjunky
