This is an excellent ripe puerh from Menghai Tea Factory. It is one of their best numbered cakes without a doubt. I have this one in 2008 and 2012 and I think 2011. It is excellent with a moderate amount of fermentation flavor left. It is not for those who can’t stand a little fermentation flavor but it is good.
I brewed this once in an 18oz teapot with 8.8g leaf and boiling water for 30 sec. I most often brew this in the morning so it doesn’t often get gongfu brewed but it is good western style too.
Flavors: Dates
The 2007 from Yunnan Sourcing is excellent also.
