A solid Yiwu cake with almost 10 years of age at a fair price ($46 at PuerhShop)!

Preparation
Boiling 0 min, 15 sec 6 g 4 OZ / 125 ML
Cwyn

If it’s the one I’m seeing in puerh shop, it is the 400 g cake? That is 43 g more tea than the usual beeng size. Seems like a really good value for Yiwu, hmmm.

DigniTea

That should be the one. Agreed – good price for what seems to be an authentic Yiwu.

Cwyn – Should have mentioned that the 2005 Changda Hao Yiwu Mansa Gushu at PuerhShop is also nice; same price.

Bio

I drink mostly puer and sometimes what we as Westerners think of as black tea.

I no longer assign numerical ratings to teas because our enjoyment of tea is very subjective. Reactions to a particular tea vary from person to person and within the same person across different tasting sessions.

My tea notes are simply comments reflecting my impression at that specific point in time. They are helpful to me and if they happen to be useful to someone else that is good.

For me, tea is magical with its ability to transform by bringing one back to center and inspiring both peace and contentment.
Reformed coffee drinker. Switched to tea as part of my goal to work on living a healthier, more balanced life — haven’t looked back since.
