2007 Xia Guan Kai Men Hong (open Door Red) Raw - Has the typical Xiagun smoky signature. Good tea but normal kind of taste. Nothing fancy. The box is nice though

2001 Meng Ku Wild Raw - Wild taste indeed. Nice to drink. Not too strong.

This was given to me by a friend. He has kept it for more than a year. Its raw Pu-Er I think. Taste smooth but still has a little greenish flavor. Not bitter at all.

The box/packing

The tea brick inside the box


The tea 1st brew. Kinda reddish brown colour.


The tea leaves after the 1st brew which is still quite green


Taste wise this tea is ok but I sure did get hungry fast drinking it.

BTW can anyone tell me if this is a good tea or not? or how long more I should keep it for it to improve.

2003 Menghai Yiwu Raw - Astringency cum slight bitter. That what I felt from infusion 1 to 5. The guy took the loose broken pieces from the beeng, which we speculate is the reason for such taste. Total disappointment.

2004 Menghai Yiwu Raw - So 2003 was a disappointment, therefore we tried the 2004 version instead. Using the same gram, this taste lighter and has the slight similarity to the 2002 Wild Mengku I tried recently (few post before). I would prefer 2004 over 2003.

UV?

Nope.

Speaking of UV, they said if use those small UV device, it may not be bright enough to show the changes. Then they say not all stickers will respond to UV device either... hmmm

wa seem like all they said. So who correct. If later ppl use UV as standard then if that label don't have maybe troublesome. But if buy for drink cool!

Hehe. The booth swamped by uncles..I also no chance to sit in..

Well, information like these not accurate... They = Seller

I plan to buy UV device and scan through all mine and try to identify which doesn't then do some research on it

good plan
