One of my first experiences with sheng tuo and I guess I couldn´t choose better. The taste is fruity, smooth, but still strong, especially when steeped longer. It has beautiful golden color and nice smell, resembles dry apricot. This is how I imagined good sheng for daily drinking could taste. I cannot rate excellent for not being able to compare much, so I need to leave space for bigger impression, but still, this tuo is worth buying.

I like this tea. A bit raw at first, but develops well in second and third infusions. I can only recommend it. I is also well worth for its price.

This is a very good green for its price. I have ordered a 5 tuo cha packet after I tasted it and when I opened it, it smelt like fresh ripe apricot. Simply delicious. :)

This is the one of the best puers I´ve ever had. it´s subtle and sweet like a honeydew or cantaloupe but its flavor lingers and expands as if it were a ripe puer. I´m aging a couple of nest to check back on in a few years.

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

Quality/Price : Amazing! THis one can be drinked today, but I think it will be better if you wait one or two years (bitter & metal)...Robert from FRANCE
