I very much appreciate your (and others) comments and observations. Did you really mean 2009 in your comment above? I recall that there has been an amount of dialogue in the blogosphere (including B&B) about 2009 7532 not being found SpikeSpeedwellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-19610813166322880222010-04-15T09:26:49.679+01:002010-04-15T09:26:49.679+01:00Dear Spike,

It's always nice to have new commenters.<br /><br /> Though they are made from the same grade (i.e., size) of leaves, that really is all they have in common. I guess it's like any other recipe that has a common ingredient, say "medium-sized free-range eggs".

I try not to buy more than 3-4 cakes of any one particular Menghai line given that I enjoy quite a few of the various lines (particularly 7432, 7542, 8582, the Peacocks, and some of the more esoteric productions).<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the tip with the Dayi Hong - I'd not even heard of it before, and Hobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-92130696714239588442009-01-16T10:07:00.000+00:002009-01-16T10:07:00.000+00:00I ended up buying a tong of this.

I also highly recommend the Dayi Hong. Does that literally translate to great benefit red? Either way it's a fine cake at a fine price.
