I was thinking of buying a whole cake before that, but after the sample, I have second thought. Given aged 8582 from 90's is like this, I would be suprise if any post 2005 8582 will become great.<br /><br />apacheAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-51868725952295079042007-05-09T19:59:00.000+01:002007-05-09T19:59:00.000+01:00Vlad, excellent underhand tactics!

Quite a few of the leaves are a little more aged. Vlad's ninja Internet skills have helped reveal the fact that this was apparently dry-stored in Taiwan. It does feel like a slow 10 years, it has to be said. For example, it's rather similar toHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-354673857888197502007-05-09T19:21:00.000+01:002007-05-09T19:21:00.000+01:00It's off the website now... but with the help of G...It's off the website now... but with the help of Google's Cache...<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:1pZR3ZSrgi0J:www.houdeasianart.com/index.php%3Fmain_page%3Dproduct_info%26cPath%3D1_27%26products_id%3D291%26zenid%3D123e04dee33e7957863c45636f956d16+1998+Menghai+8582&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=4&client=iceweasel-a" REL="nofollow">See here</A>.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>-vl.Vladimir Lukiyanovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327122660708261128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-29924492538002562082007-05-09T17:52:00.000+01:002007-05-09T17:52:00.000+01:00Is the colour in the third picture slightly off? ...Is the colour in the third picture slightly off? Looks awfully green to me for something that is closing in on 10 years. I can't find the product description (as it's impossible to find a particular tea on Hou De's website sometimes). Does it say where it was stored?MarshalNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776398824139018801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-64706127729357700612007-05-09T08:21:00.000+01:002007-05-09T08:21:00.000+01:00Hi Vlad, Thanks for the post.

I wonder if you're using the adjective "dry" as one might with wine - in that sense, it would relate to the green feeling that I experienced in the throat: that raw, slightly ragged sensation from brusque young tea. <BR/><BR/> I must admit that this one didn't make me feel unwell... :)<BR/><BR/><BR/> Toodlepip,<BR/><BR/> HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-44302477540743490802007-05-08T23:18:00.000+01:002007-05-08T23:18:00.000+01:00I've tasted a sample of this, though I can't say I...I've tasted a sample of this, though I can't say I have any definite opinions on it. <BR/><BR/>I found it to be dry and oily, but it didn't have a lot of feeling, in fact it made me a little queasy... even for a very young Pu-erh, I can't really forget that. I think your description "varnished pine" sums it up for me. <BR/><BR/>Sludge indeed.<BR/><BR/>-vl.Vladimir Lukiyanovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09327122660708261128noreply@blogger.com
