2007 Menghai Tea Factory "7262 Ripe" Pu-erh Tea



From JAS eTea $5.69 for 25g
 
This was not a very good ripe puerh tea.  The liquor and aromas weren't terrible, but they were definitely on the bad side of mediocre.  This was lacking complexity and I am glad that I only had a sample size of this one to drink.

2008 Mengku Mu Ye Chun "99801" Premium Ripe Pu-erh tea

From JAS eTea $2.49 for 25g

This was a middle of the road ripe puerh.  There is a hint of the swampy aroma that is reminds me of when I was first trying cooked puerhs and seemed to get those that had it as well.  It is not overwhelming and slightly comforting in its mold swampy aroma.  The liquor was nothing out of the ordinary for ripe puerh, not exceptionally bad or good.  I don't think I would get this again, but could drink i if I had more.
