My 2nd Fave Puerh Ever Review by BayBright
-
I should first say that the only puerh i drink is sheng (raw).
I personally find too many of the complex delicious flavours are destroyed with a cooked cake, or brick ( and yes unfortunately i have tried enough to come to that decision).
This fine bing embodies everything you would expect from a raw bing from the early 00's, it is surpassed in my opinion only by Jing Teas legendary Menghai 2003.
Due to the recent canton price drop on this bing it is now almost 1/2 price of the 2003, and to be honest it is a delicious tea in it's on right, even at its previous pricing.
If you enjoy your raw puerh i can recommend this, as i say IMO the second best raw bing currently available in the UK.
