Chun Ming products are great value for money and this Yin Ya Tuo Cha is a steal at this price. Yin Ya, which translates to "Silver Bud" is made from good quality tea Pu'er leaves and a high amount of silverish tea buds. It is ready for drinking but the quality will improve with further aging.

Reviews & Ratings
I received this 2007 Production at end Feb ´10.
Initially was very astringent and green (think green tea) with a slight hint of floral and sweetness. 2 stars max even for its price.
After 3 months in a loosened form stored in 70 to 80% humidity, much improvement.
Now astringency more tolerable and no more raw green taste. Can enjoy the light floral smell and very light touch of sweetness. OK to drink. 3 stars max if not considering price. Should improve over time but not a strong base to start with.
I gave 4 stars if you consider the quality / price and if you are on tight budget.
For me, as a normal day tea is ok, but certainly not good enough for the weekends and special occasions.
But if you got lots of other teas, then give this a miss.

I love this tea it has all the flavor that I expect out of a silver tip puer mellow sweet and a touch of honey. It reminds me of a good oak aged chardanay. This tea will go great with fish or chicken. This tea will taste even better in about 10 years
