From LP’s Aged Oolong group buy. Used all 5.5 (give or take) grams in my new Taiwan Tea Crafts stubby pear pot. I must agree with what others have said about this tea, particularly one reviewer’s observation that this is reminiscent of the DHP brick from White2Tea (I think it was the Sept. club). It’s interesting to compare this to an inexpensive aged 2008 DHP brick I got from a vendor on Aliexpress; this tea is much more subtle, gentle, refined even. Lovely mineral/wet rock sweetness, well roasted and I would guess the aging has smoothed over the sharp edges. The Aliexpress tea is decent, but much more harsh and can get bitter when pushed. One of these days I’m going to try Bana Tea’s DHP brick and see how it compares to these. Overall, a very enjoyable DHP.

I have the Banna brick (and reviewed it on Steepster). It is very different. Not nearly as roasted, it is much more like a regular dhp.
Interesting, now I really wanna try it!!
NICE! :D
All sold out at Chawangshop….a pity…glad I got one while they lasted. Perhaps there will be more to come!
curlygc, if you want to try a sample of the Bana brick, I’m happy to send you a sample.
Rich, that would be fantastic! And if there’s anything in my cupboard you’d like to try, let me know :-)
OK, why don’t you pm me and we can trade a few items. Feel free to look through my cupboard as well. It might take me a couple weeks to get something in the mail.
