"Nice tea"

"my goal is to try every pu-erh :) probably won't happen but i'm going to try. so i got this one as part of the Menghai sampler pack and i like it a lot. the flavor is good and balanced. i do like something just a tad more earthy but this one is good. it is very astringent in my opinion, quite chewy."

"The tea is top quality with very intense and enjoyable flavour. It will not replace my favourite in the price range, but one of the bests for the price. It definitely worth a try."

"I got this as part of the "Menghai Tea Factory "Special Release" Ripe Pu-erh Tea Sampler". I love sampling teas and this is a good one, so I'm certainly not complaining; I got what I wanted out of this, a chance to try something new. I just wouldn't order it again, because I like stronger tasting ripe pu-erhs. I love strong, earthy, leathery, tobacco-y, even smokey, ripe pu-erhs. This is very smooth, refined, and wonderful tasting. I know there are probably 100 cheaper ripe pu-erhs here that I love more."

"Had this tea in a menghai area sampler and loved it so much I immediately bought a whole cake. If it is still around come tax season I am going to buy a tong for aging. SO SMOOTH!!!!"
