Not going to wow you
"Not going to wow you but pretty good none the less. Very "ripe' tasting. Rich."

One of their better offerings
"Some of Yunnan Sourcing's better selections come in a plain white wrapper. It seems like they have a knack for finding small, unknown productions of very good teas. I tried the YS Camphor Tuo against a sample of 2003 "Xiao Fa" I got from another vendor, and at least for me, the YS Camphor Tuo was better. There was nothing wrong with the other tea, it was quite good. But even if they tied in my opinion, this is a 250g Tuo and the other was 100g at practically the same price. This is a well made, well aged tea at a good price point. You can read the other reviews about the particulars of the flavor, or just get a 25g sample and decide for yourself."

unique minty shou
"Brewing: 6g/100ml, 100°C, flash rinse, 15s, +5s. Warmed-up dry leaves smell of earth and wood. When wet, it's a forest floor after the rain. The liquor combines wood, stone fruit, caramel, liquorice and mint. Very smooth, very satisfying taste that persists for 16 steeps, including the minty part."

Nice dry one
"This is very aromatic tea! Rather dry that sweet (personally I prefer sweeter teas), and the aroma is top notch. Very round and measured, nothing springs out of it, calms me down. Anti-heavy, yet respectable tea with it's own style. It requires a bit more material for brewing, usually I put around 6-7g on 100ml, here I put about 8-9 grams and waited longer on the steeps. The soup is very decent but not the thickest one. Overall very enjoyable, especially for the money!"

Perfect tea. Balanced strong and
"Perfect tea. Balanced strong and delicate taste, aroma and aftertaste of the appropriate level. This is not the first time I buy. Recommend it as an excellent tea at a reasonable price."

LOVELY AGED
"It's a very elegant and lovely tea. The aging it's very well done, no wo dui aroma, just sweetness and layers of complexity. Will definitely buy the full tuo."

Great Flavor and Easy to Drink
"A great tasting tea. I'm new to tea drinking so I can't speak to the finer notes but it has a great smoky flavor and is very easy to drink. Highly enjoy this tea."

Good value aged shu
"Really nice and v. good value (I think) shu - was hoping for a little more camphor hence 4* not 5*"

This is my jam!
"I love this ripe so much! Got it as a free add on and I was pleasantly surprised! Brewed hot hot in my silver teapot (also from YS). Incredibly tasty ripe. Has some camphor, but also plenty of sweetness. A cooling sensation on the back end."

"A bit flat taste to me, dark color and silky tea. I found little interest in the flavors."
