The mission is simple but tough: the tea we want has to meet these requirements:
1. Organic 2. Imperial Grade 3. Menghai Leaves 4. Clean and clean 5. Great Taste 6. Low Price!This is the only tea cake we found that fits the ticket. A small tea factory may not be able to make its Shu as good as Dayi from batch to batch, but this one would be on par with the best from Menghai Dayi, at 1/3 price.
The tea brews a clear and ruby liquor with a satisfying, remarkably smooth taste, it is simply a great buy for its price and quality.

Yee On Tea Co.Came back to this one after not having it for awhile. Though a good shou, doesn’t really stack up to the Dayi cakes I’ve been drinking. Used about 4.5g of leaf in a 4.5 oz Yixing pot. Rinsed it and rested it for about a minute, then did steeps of 15s, 10s, 20s, 30s, and 5 minutes.
Your review is spot on, totally agree.
Only difference for me is 7g in a slightly larger pot. I guess the price is alright, but the tea is pretty average, imo
