‘Dragon Pillar’ is made from the slender and tender tips of the green ecological tea plantations in Menghai county and is moderately fermented and processed. The leaf lines are shapely with tight golden hairs, yielding a thick bright red broth with mellow and smooth flavor and pure aged aroma. ‘Dragon Pillar’ has a high collection value for its high grade quality, elegant appearance and refine processing crafts.

Menghai Tea FactoryI’ve wanted to try this one for a while. Thank you Steepster trading friend. This is supposedly one of the upper tier Dayi cakes. This one fetches $90 right now. My how prices have skyrocketed for some of these Dayi teas. Is it hype or is it that good? Hype. It’s really not bad, but far from the best dayi I’ve tasted. It basically is an average Dayi ripe, though it did not hold up that well. Not terribly interesting nor smooth, but good flavor. It is certainly fine, and would be a decent pick if it were, say, $30.
This is the kind of review that makes steepster worthwhile for myself. Thanks.
DigniTea, I see you own the 2009, 2011-13 yrs of this Shou, but these haven’t yet been reviewed. How does your experience compare with Rich’s? Is 2010 an outlier perhaps? Thanks!
