Reviews

A classic

"Great sourness but with a superb aged quality - good age to drink this I would suggest"

— Marek I. (4/5)

It changed!

"Just 4 months in a humidor and it has lost some of the astringency and gained a pronounced vaporous floral note. I’d pin it as honeysuckle. Amazing what bringing the humidity back up will do, especially in western climates."

— Chris (4/5)

Great everyday drinker

"Smooth. Citrus. Medium bodied. Satisfying astringency. Lingering sweetness.Nothing spectacular but great everyday driver. Great representation of Sheng."

— Chris (4/5)

2016 Dayi 7542 Raw Pu erh Cake Sample

"Glad i got to try the practically the staple raw puerhs. Dayi cakes get alot better as they age but i am pleasantly surprised by what this young sheng has to offer as well. Though not the best cake to get for now, i do suggest getting a sample at least to get a taste of the famous Dayi 7542. Bucketlist worthy at the least."

— Amin M. (5/5)

A real classic

"Smooth and clean, there is still room for improvement over time."

— Gabriele S. (4/5)

Q&A

Where was this stored?
Kunming
Would this be a bit too young to drink now?
It's not too young to drink... not sure how you like your pu-erh. It will be fairly bitter and astringent this young.
