"Yue Chen Yue Xiang" means "The Older, the More Aromatic". This is the first thing that I ever learned about Pu-erh tea. In 1996 I went to the candies and tea market behind the Kunhu Fandian in Kunming just north-north-west of railway station. It was here that I first saw Pu-erh tea (and drank some too). An old man there explained to my Japanese friend (who spoke both Chinese and English) the concept of "Yue Chen Yue Xiang". Needless to say it made a very strong impression on me.

In 2004, after selling all my belongings in Oregon and moving to China I was trolling the Jin Shi tea market in Kunming for teas and came across the year 2000 version of this cake, which I bought a tong of. Wish I still had some today!

Classic redux a famous Da Yi ripe!

Surprisingly Smooth Tea

"Surprisingly smooth tea even when you accidentally oversteeped it. Balanced and nicely fermented. Good value for money."

— Yulian O. (5/5)

Da Yi Delight

"The above review by Lu P. is right, 'smooth and full of flavor'. I received this tea about 4 months ago, let it rest for 3 months and gave it a go, not impressed . Waited another month and now it is superb. Balanced, quality tea that is fermented to perfection. I easily get 6-8 nice steeps. If you are a shou lover please give this tea a try. A great bargain for such a quality tea. I would suggest buying it now before this cake gains in popularity and the price rises quickly. Tea on"
