This is a very amazing tea for its age. It has the strong camphor shot of a tea twice its age.It is a bit earthy but the punch on this one is really good. Sorry for the short note as I will try to add to this on an evening that I have a bit more time. Reminiscent of a 9 year old loose maocha from a different seller. Definite aged tea in a good price range for those that enjoy the earth and camphor.

Flavors: Camphor, Earth, Musty

TeaBrat

nice, where did you get this from?

mrmopar

It came as a swap from a good friend. I think you can get it from Chawang shop or Pentaxian on Ebay at this link.

Hi Mr M. Just wondering if you ever revisted this cake?

mrmopar

@Sqt, I think I have a sample here somewhere. May try to find it.

TeaEarleGreyHot I found a listing of this “very amazing” tea for sale on the Beautiful Taiwan Tea shop, and I’m thinking of buying a cake. It’s been eight years since you wrote this review, mrmopar, and I’m wondering how the tea has stood the test of time, in your esteem?
mrmopar

@TeaEarleGreyHot, I found a brown wrapper of this one just a touch better. The JingGu one from King Tea Mall and the 642 Banzhang are probably my top 2 Changtais.

Thanks for the tip!

Mrmopar…. KingTeaMall… nice variety of stuff and reasonable pricing. My order is on its way!

Just what I am hunting for these days – decent quality leaf; a bit of age; an enjoyable flavor profile – and it does not disappoint. Moderately compressed cake and easy to pick apart. The dry leaves appear fragmented, but decent, and full of dark brown colors. There are plenty of tips to be seen with a nice blend of large and small leaves. The aroma is really rather good – a bit sweet and leatherlike. The soup is definitely orange and is thick in texture. The flavor is up-front and quick in its presentation with plenty of honey sweetness. The wet leaves are chopped up quite a bit (characteristic of the 2005-06 Changtais I’ve tried) containing all grades with plenty of stalks – they cannot be called pretty leaves. I really enjoyed this tea – it is thick, sweet, and satisfying with a hint of true character. This cake currently sells for a reasonable $44 at Cha Wang Shop.
