You have the right idea with thi...Peter Robertson,<br /><br />You have the right idea with this tea. As I said, its the kind of tea that really needs the humid storage to thrive and without it, is not very drinkable. Convenient for you that you are stationed in South East Asia!<br /><br />I actually only had one session with this tea and based this post on that. There is only 200g here, unfortunately, and I feel that it really does need that humidity so didn't give it a second go.<br /><br />We will see how it does in a year or so of dampness.<br /><br />I agree with your assessment of Menghai Factory puerh as well. It is what it is. <br />I passed on the Big Classic years ago and pretty much have the same feelings toward this tea but as you say "The more Dayi tea I drink the more I like it.". (Look for a post coming soon on that one)<br /><br />So maybe an order of this is in the cards after all.<br /><br />Thanks for your continued discussions on these Menghai teas.<br /><br />PeaceMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02736984697520031171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1693176331381554957.post-49798821659752826862017-10-11T18:01:26.748-07:002017-10-11T18:01:26.748-07:00Hello Matt,
I'm surprised by your review. I ...Hello Matt,<br /><br />I'm surprised by your review. I have had this tea for a year now and like it very much. My initial impression was a powerful concentrated tea that needed some time, but for me a really nice example of the Dayi style. I didn't touch it for a year and have recently found it has aged considerably in my hot humid storage (I'm in SE Asia). A nice tea at a good price, unfortunately it has sold out and not a buy at $40. The more Dayi tea I drink the more I like it. It's fashionable in the West, online at least, to criticise it, factory tea etc, but they have been delivering quality and consistency for many years. Maybe it's not the same as the old days but what is? Interested to see what you think of the others. I plan to acquire the Big Classic, its a good price.<br />MettaPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10544967313323315542noreply@blogger.com
