CNNP - Teas

Fu Lu Shou Xi (福禄寿喜) - Fortune, Wealth, Longevity and Happiness

I tasted several 7542 original Dayi cakes from recent years going back to 1997. Only the oldest made quiet an impression on me. Although this one cost several hundreds Euro already. I also run into a few 'private order 7542 cakes too. The 2011 one, a dry stored in Jiangsu, with very strong typical characteristics and a good price had to end up in pu-erh.sk aged raw pu-erh teas offer. Taste: Clean without any disturbing side effect, a strong bitterish, fruity 'menghai'...

This is a good example of CNNP "7542" production. This custom-made "7542" cake was made by an affiliated factory of Menghai TF. This tea cake is composed of wild arbor and garden tea. First three years stored in China and then bought and stored in Malaysia since 2004. Clean and very good storage! Full body, balanced, sweet, with fast huigan. Give many enjoyable infusions !

Bought this ripe tea recently for USD 5.00. There's no printed info on the cover. Claimed by the tea shop that the manufactured year is 2006. Can anyone out there can verify it. Thanks.

Stored in Guangdong province, this tea has a slight humidity to it, but the cakes and tea are very clean.

Infusion: Color is golden honey, the smell fully corresponds with the smell of dry leaf, as opposed to the more perceptible...

This cake is called "Da Hong Yin" or Big Red Mark. It's a blend from Banna area tea leaves and the raw materials are pressed into wooden molds that give them their irregular shape.

Its clean wet storage without white 'frost' on the surface.Aged aroma with hint of nutty, deep and clean tea soup. Smooth and sweet. The mouthfeel is complex, huigan is fast. After few...

Probably a small tea factory in Yi Wu area pressed this cake under the "zhong cha" label in 2003. Entirely spring 2013 Yi Wu mountain material. Stored in Jing Hong until 2012 when it was purchased by Yunnan Sourcing and brought to Kunming. Nice balanced traditional (wetter) storage. Nicely aged but without any moldy or off smells. Camphor and delicate aromas when brewed. Sweet thick tea soup. An enjoyable tropical stored tea!

Big Green Tree Yiwu (special grade) year 2004 is a very nice aged pu-erh still for a reasonable price. The tea was stored in Taiwan, lately in Guangzhou province in China. I recomend to try it, the whole bing cha's will be in stock later. Now 7 gram samples for trying it - €1.00
