I broke this one out this morning to contrast with the one I had yesterday. They are both really good but different beasts all together.
The Wild Monk has flavors that are more reminiscent of your usual younger shengs. There is a lot of smoky flavor in this one. The flavor profile is more complex with notes of peach, lemon and smoke. It leaves you with an overall sweetness coating your tongue however. Definitely not as bitter as a lot of young shengs. Has a pleasant, uplifting energy that I am enjoying a lot today. I would definitely check this one out if you’re not adverse to some smoke in your tea.
Maybe I am just a fan of mao cha, I need to get some others to compare with the two I already have :)

Yummy. I like this one.
Puerhshop has a good MaoCha.
the one I can think of off the top of my head is the 2008 Nannuo arbor MaoCha. Very fragrant not bitter and has such a wonderful aroma when brewed.
thanks :)
on to my wishlist! haha
I’ve been peeking at their Wild Monk, I’m glad that you liked it :)
Sil you haven’t tried this? Should have added it to your box… if I have fun Vancouver stuff to share will include some with your next package…
dex – nope. I’ve just had the actual cake (own 3 of them)
I prefer the cake (I’m down to 2 and somme crumbs…) but I think you should try it. Will try to remember to include it with your next package. :))
haha OK
where’s mine? :-P
TeaBrat – Are you looking for a sample of the wild monk cake? If so PM me next week and we’ll work something out (I’m out of town for the weekend)…… :)
