This is a classic and old style cake from Nannuoshan Tea Factory which was renamed as Menghai Banzhang Tea Factory from 2005. This cake made of 2005 pure sun-dried large leaf material, compression is medium. After stored for 9 years in Kunming, this tea is ready for drink now but still very powerful with good choice for aging ! Nice golden liquor with typical floral aromas of Menghai area tea, full in the mouth, fruity with quickly huigan ! Later infusions are sweet and smooth.

Tea DrunkThis tea starts bad, does poorly for a while, passes through a period of being plebian, and ultimately settles on disappointing.
If ever there was a poster child tea for sampling first instead of buying the whole cake, this tea is it . All the amazing qualities of ChaWangShop’s 98 You Le are turned on their head here. Still, at these prices, one big winner and one big loser equals an overall success.
Just don’t back this tea – it’s the Washington Nationals in this showdown.
Bought a sample of this, bargain hunting.. Pretty much as expected for a “random” $45 2005 factory production. Sample leaf quality doesn’t resemble the photos of the outer cake, could not find a single near-intact leaf digging through 12g of spent tea, all finely chopped… and I venture to guess a fair bit of huang pian in here. Again, as expected.
Mostly floral and sweet with a thin body and some aroma. Fair bit of astringency, otherwise not a lot of activity. Not terrible for what it is, but I can think of better ways to spend the money.
