I usually don't enjoy black tea because I'm so used to those in tea bags, and even some loose tea leaves were unremarkable. But when I got to taste Gu Shu Shai Hong from King Tea Mall I instantly fell in love with sweet and rich flavors and fragrant aroma. Made me give black tea another chance.

A beautiful Sheng Pu-Erh Tea, Very high quality! Special flavour you might never get from anywhere else. Unique area, Deep rich tea soup sweet strong wonderful!

I brewed this tea earlier this evening, but I first bought the cake two years ago. It is still a very nice tea. There is an initial direct, punchy quality I associate with Bulang, with a complex palette of woodsy, sweet, and spicy flavors. The tea is well aged but not yet fully mature, and is drinkable and enjoyable now.

Delicious and subtle. It has been popular with my friends.

I do not have much experience with aged TGY, but this tea feels somehow "classic" to me. The aged roasted flavor is complex and reminds me of marshmallow. The tea is rolled rather loosely, so the flavor emerges quickly and subsides a bit too early. Maybe it is just me, but I have struggled to brew this tea without a bit of roughness in the throat.

Excellent value. Great attention to detail. Both robust and subtle. Fruity and floral. Good for many steepings.

Very interesting tea. i've never had drank changtai shout before, only shengs, but i was quite surprised to see the same distinctive changati flavour come back, only in a pleasant, cellary, refreshing shou. Very good experience, delicious.

Unbelievable Tea very tasty strong full of flavour. You get plenty of strong steeps out of this tea. Keeps going for along time. BanZhang & BingDao doesn't get much better than that. Both awesome regions in Yunnan. Give it ago!

A good tea, better out of Jian Shui pottery, I think. I tried it out a Gaian and it wasn’t as complex. I’ve yet to drink it from a yixing, but I imagine a nixing would make it to dry.

Perfect for my yixing teapots
I live in Badalona, Catalunya.
They arrived quickly and perfect!

John's description is quite accurate,this tea is seductive.Love it!

Cooling yogurt flavors. Strong Needles, quality material. Balanced Qi

This tea has absolutely beautiful and huge leaves *. It's very flavourful, fresh, being quite fruity for a green tea. For a green tea, it is reasonably long-lasting with regards to the number of steepings. It's quite gentle, without tendency to go bitter, so even the later steepings are nice.

* making it in a gaiwan is a bit like putting spaghetti in a small pot - you have to wait until the submerged part softens and then you push the top of the leaves inside.

It is also very nice for a cold brew, putting leaves in a big glass, pouring cold water over it, leaving it in a fridge overnight.

This was my first Sheng cake. As such, my review reflects my subjective enjoyment rather than an objective standard for comparison purposes.

An outstanding purchase that has become a daily necessity. Pleasantly sweet apricot top note that tends towards sourness of just-ripe plums. Mellow body underneath reminiscent of vanilla and cream. Noticeable calming effects. Zero bitterness or astringency, but easily brews too strong in first infusions. I prefer steeping 10 seconds or less in first few infusions. Very minor smokiness/ scratchiness at the back of the throat even after rinsing. Lasts around 15 infusions at my desired strength, but the flavour does last a bit beyond that if a weak cup doesn't bother you. This tea is also very versatile. I will frequently brew it grandpa style while on the go at work. It makes for a stronger, mellower brew with plenty of cha qi when brewed this way.

This has easily replaced my favourite oolongs as my new favourite tea. Of course I have no baseline to compare this across other cakes, but I imagine that it is a good value for the price.
