A very good tea: the plum-like sweetness that I have found in other sheng puer from Xiaguan is nicely complemented by a subtle smoky note.

This tuo cha has a very nice aroma,maybe quite smokey but still very fresh and promising.The leaves´ quality is good.I haven´t tasted it yet and i´ll wait some time for its developement (if i can resist,it´s so inviting!)

This puer is really great! A little young (-05), but already tastes wonderful. Sweet and deep taste, not to bitter, and with a lovely aftertaste.

Excellent tea, with light plums scent (at least I think it is plums) and sweet aftertaste.

Smells good and looks to be of good quality. I´ll be aging this one for a while before breaking into it. A note to potential buyers: this is a round bowl, not a flat cake. Although this is noted in the description, the image doesn´t make it clear.

it is a very flavour and harmony tea. it taste a sweet and delicious liquor.

Very good raw pu-erh. Rather sweet, but there is a bit of bitterness, especially in first infusion. Also the piece is hard to crush, it is little troublesome.

Need further aging. The tea leaves are of high quality. Still tightly compacted. May have to steam to get to the tea.

this is a good tea for the price though it is young it is mellow and leaves a long lasting cool taste on your breth.

(disclaimer: pu-erh newbie!) I love this tea. The flavor is deep with a hint of sweetness, surprisingly good for how young it is. It makes multiple delicious infusions. I’m going to buy a couple more of these to hang onto. My only "problem" with this tea is that it’s so tightly compressed, I can barely break off any pieces! Not really a problem though.

Xiaguan is always a good pu erh but needs time for aging to get rid of some bitter notes during the first infusions. Very pleasant sweet aftertaste. This one should age well.

Kim (10/11/2006)

Young, powerful and aromatic with great potencial for ageing.

Armandas (8/7/2006)

Nice piece of Tuo Cha, only I did not see the gold ribbon with the tea cake.

Chung (7/3/2006)

This is a delicious young Puer. I would give it four and a half stars because of it’s extremely appealing flavor; a hint of smokiness but also smooth with hints of fruit, and lasts many brews. It’s simple and really good, great to drink now or save.

Danica (5/11/2006)

Very nice aroma with a wonderful smoothness after the first seeping.

James (11/17/2005)

excellent tasting tea that will age gracefully
