This 2003 CNNP Yellow Mark was the first to be released as an individual cake from the Colours of Malaysia Quarter Cake Set at TeasWeLike. The 357g cake goes for $ 225.00 for or $0.63/g. I’m wondering if it was my favourite from the set…
First infusion has a grains cereal sweet watery taste with a sweet corn finish. The is a dry roof feeling in the mouth.
Second has a roasted almost black tea note with very faint floral and cereal, almost raisin sweetness. The mouthfeel is a bit fine sandy and vacuous with an open throat feeling. Has an almost melon juicy fruity taste that is not really there.
Third infusion has a floral black tea raisin taste tastes like Red Rose brand tea that you find at any grocery store here. Bland vacuous sandy mouthfeel. Floral finish on the breath.
The fourth is a woody teak sort of black tea note rose floral. Nice roasty rich body but really does taste a bit like black tea or maybe Mengku area blend? Nice calming slowness to the qi.
The fifth is a woody teak rich black tea Red Rose. Nice woods richness. The Qi is this really nice quiet calm slows the mind a bit and a bit spacy calm it’s nice the combo of the classic throwback Red arose tea makes it a comforting afternoon delight for my soul.
The sixth is put into an overnight thermos. I try some from the thermos a few hours later and it’s this black tea slight floral rich tasting puerh. The floral tastes really builds and has this rich almost black tea woody background which feels real full and satisfying.
The next day the liquor is woody resinous slight oily sweet.
I put all four of the spent leaves from the Colours of Malaysia Quarter Cake set in a long overnight steeping (wet leaves top left clockwise in order they appear on the blog)… The Red label is still quite juicy oily and thickly sweet with smoke balance. The Blue Label was maybe the most balanced of the four offering woody, sweet, slight incense taste. The FuYuanChang offered a relatively light sweet taste with charcoal and incense balance. The Yellow label had a sweet woody resin taste. It’s hard to pick favourites here instead of ordering a single cake I’d probably just buy another quarter cake set. In fact, I recommend it!
Peace

That's a serious amount of leaf there Matt!
Mr Peter Robertson,
Hahaha…. Not bad these are maybe 12g sessions I would guess. I drank these over a week… and it was a great week these are all good for the price I paid and are all a bit different with a different feel.
Peace
I really like the Malaysian national taste in puer.
Mr. Peter Robertson,
It’s been a muse with Western puerh drinkers for decades now but I don’t have nearly enough experience with this stuff.
I’m drinking this 2003 Yellow Label today and it has lost a lot of its floral fragrant rose out of its wrapper and it’s this deliciously aged satisfying resin woody with lesser sweetness. Qi is comforting and feel good. This feels further aged than the others and the result of the natural dry Malaysian storage has worked wonders on this puerh! This one is my favourite of the bunch.
I will go into some of TeasWeLike natural Malaysian storage in the next few posts here enjoy!
Peace
