Box is on its way to Ken.
I was wondering that myself since I have this cake at home. And its pretty good. Im guessing something must have happened to the sample. The only thing wrong with it, is I feel like it needs another couple years of humid aging. Though in complete honesty, I think everything needs a little more humid aging..lol!
One of the things that I ask is that you tell where you got the tea. All Dayi 7542 may be created equal, but after 10 years, storage matters.
My friend’s uncle lives in China and has connections to a tea supplier and he gifted me some. Their US distributor is called MyTeaGuy. It’s just loosely stored aged leaves with no fanciful descriptions or even a stated recipe.
Teabox is still in vegas, but it moved to Red panda and then on to babble, will be mailing in about a week.
Dropped off the box with Ken who will be adding more
