The leaves were certainly homogenous (and pretty).<BR/><BR/> The maofeng to which I liken it is indeed the lucha - rich grape aroma and a thick, low flavour of the same. <BR/><BR/><BR/> Thanks for the extra information, and toodlepip,<BR/><BR/> HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-20666639313146019222007-07-24T07:40:00.000+01:002007-07-24T07:40:00.000+01:00Hmmm interesting..the tea actually was called yun ...Hmmm interesting..the tea actually was called yun cha, but we named it mao cha, it is actually called 'yun' cha, it means totally made by the same pu erh leaves( i guess in term of size and leaves).<BR/>Mao cha has some mixed leaves maybe different ages of tea leaves. I do not know how to write the 'yun' in pin yin, it's not this 'yun' for sure. so we just classified as mao cha. any idea of such Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-53124362000936235942007-07-23T22:50:00.000+01:002007-07-23T22:50:00.000+01:00Would you prefer a maofeng?Would you prefer a maofeng?MarshalNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16776398824139018801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-54271095016686623812007-07-23T17:32:00.000+01:002007-07-23T17:32:00.000+01:00It really was remarkably maofeng, and yet only in ...It really was remarkably maofeng, and yet only in the aroma. The flavour was fairly quiet straw-and-mushroom, as one might hope from pu'er. Wherever it hails from, it's pretty, but as you say, it may well be somewhere other than Banzhang...<BR/><BR/><BR/>Toodlepip,<BR/><BR/>HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-37317827847969779242007-07-23T16:52:00.000+01:002007-07-23T16:52:00.000+01:00A maofeng like Banzhang?
