This is my first Dayi cake and has more of the aged taste than I had expected, with hints of younger tea layered within, with bitterness present if pushed too hard, too soon. There is a good huigan after a number of steepings. Overall, this is a solid tea that can last all day and I look forward to comparing it with other 7542 years soon.

Overall, pretty nice teapot/pitcher - it is tall and narrow perfect for tai ping hou kui and has its own built in strainer at the spout - and it works both as a tea pot and pitcher - although it has no lid - it works perfectly for teas that don't require a lot of heat.

Очень качественный и выдержанный шу пуэр. Я очень доволен его вкусовой гаммой и бесконечными проливами. Рекомендую попробовать всем любителям качественного шу пуэр а.

2007 MengKu RongShi "Gong Ting" (Palace) Cake 400g Puerh Ripe Tea Shou Cha

Beautiful stove, superbly packed to survive a long trip across the ocean. I had one similar I accidentally knocked over and broke and urgently wanted to replace. Can’t wait to season this one for use! Thank you for the excellent and on time shipping.

A very good tea, it was smooth with notes of earthiness, woodsy-ness, and autumn. The tea was good for many infusions I did about 6 with no issues. A smooth tea that was very relaxing.

Very easy fold the boxes, arrived with almost no cardboard smell. Once stacked its very stable. even with a 500g cake there is enaugh space for a 4g Boveda pack to keep the tea at the right humidity

Sweet and mellow with enough depth to keep interest. Great daily drinker, unbeatable price.

i absolutely adored this tea and am savouring it slowly. it is a special rock tea, very potent and soothing.

I like this tea quite a bit, the roast level is high which is my preference for less expensive yancha. It won't blow your mind, but it's a great value and is my preferred factory yancha. A few other options that I've tried in this price bracket are clearly inferior compared to this.

Mu first Wuyi Mountain tea ever, and I find it really excellent!

Amazing tea, rate it up there with anji

Great green oolong

If KTM ever ran out of double gift Yun Shan that would be a backup. But iron or red eye versions could compliment that.

I am on my second cake of this production year. I did let it sit after the first taste for six months and what a difference it made. I kept the steeps short, less leaf, water temp at before the boil. Too long on steeping/leaf and it does come on too thick, more fishy. It is earthy, woodsy smooth, with shorter sessions. I do like the more earthy puer, this was perfect for me. The caramel really came out for me on this method of brewing. Definitely as described.
