I just checked my lists, and it seems that I don't have any of the 0801 in my collection - just a few of the earlier productions in 2009.<br /><br />The various Puerh Shop maocha can be excellent; I remember enjoying most of their loose-lead pu'ercha that I've encountered.<br /><br /><br /> Toodlepip,<br /><br /> HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-67959261883537796092011-05-20T17:16:40.877+01:002011-05-20T17:16:40.877+01:00It is almost 2.5 years since you posted this blog,...It is almost 2.5 years since you posted this blog, and I had inadvertently purchased a couple of rounds and the supposedly same maocha from PS.
