A good daily drinker for the price

"I have been drinking this tea for a while now and it is excellent for the price. It is currently my daily drinker. The leaves are moderately sized, and it offers a nice astringency if brewed strongly. It's at a great age for enjoying right now. Recommended."

— Vincent (5/5)

My fisrt Pu-erh cake.

"I bought this Pu-erh cake based on the comments and rating of other users, this is the first cake I buy, I tried a loose leaf Pu-erh tea before so that was the only reference I had and I just can say this is much much better. I cannot make a better comparison due to my lack of knowledge but the experience has been very satisfying so far, in fact, I'm enjoying a cup of this tea while I'm writing this review."

Very good!

"Very good!"

— Ivan R. (5/5)

Unstable

"I’m surprised for all the maximum scores for this one. I liked much the Ban Zhang ripe of this brand so wanted to try more. Yes, this is cheaper, but also compared to many YS branded similarly priced ripes this is much less enjoyable for me. To me the taste is not balanced or pleasant, there is something that I would maybe call dirtiness, unpleasant bitterness which has a chemical feeling, also numbing of the tip of the tongue. In general the mouth feeling for me is not not smooth but unstable or dirty and taste lacks depth."

— Andy (3/5)
