2013 Yiwu Zhongshan ripe puerh cake $18 for a 400 g cake
A fairly bland tea. I finished the cake without a problem, but I don't think I would get another. I wish it had a little more something in the flavors profile to make it stand out.
2007 Jingmai Laoshu Gongting Pu-erh sample ($23.90 for a 357 g cake)
This has a bit more interesting going on that the aforementioned cake. I'm not sure if I would get a large amount though.
2010 CNNP 7572 Yellow Mark Pu-erh sample ($17.99 for a 357 g cake)
Oddly enough, this tastes like the yellow mark I remember from several years ago and had quite a lot of (I think it was 2004 give or take a few years). Good stuff for a drinking daily. Probably worth getting some of this. Ordered 3 cakes.
2015 Zenpuer 1501 Year of the Goat Ripe Pu-erh sample ($15.99 for a 357 g cake)
Impressive for such a young product. Ordered 1 cake.
2008 CNNP Grand Red in Red Ripe Pu-erh sample ($23.99 for a 357 g cake)
Mediocre.
2013 Boyou JYMT Ripe Pu-erh sample ($20.98 for a 357 g cake)
This tea has a really nice smell. Some complexities but not bad.
2006 Mengku Old Tree Ripe Pu-erh sample
Hard to describe this one. Not good in comparison to the other samples in this order though.
2007 CNNP Win Ripe Pu-erh sample ($29.98 for a 380 g cake)
This has a good smell reminding me of the first type of pu I bought a decent amount of, but the flavor profile is a bit disappointing.
2011 MGH 1104 Ripe Pu-erh tea brick ($8.95 for 200 g portioned brick)
Standard fare for this sort of a pre-sized brick. Decent staple, but not much going on.
2009 Yiwu Qing Yun Ripe Pu-erh tea
Has a somewhat cloudy brew with lots of small particles.
2010 Banzhang Ripe Pu-erh tea
Has a somewhat cloudy brew with lots of small particles.
