2016 Hai Lang Hao "Lao Ban Zhang Gu Shu" Ancient Arbor Raw Pu-erh Tea Cake

Good tea, absolutely horrible value for money

I've tried many expensive shengs, including much more expensive than this one. This is a good aged sheng, but ultimately unremarkable and thus disappointing at this price point. Potentially because I've been tasting it when it was 7-8 years old, which is generally considered a bad age for shengs. Can not recommend.

2016 HLH Loa Ban Zhang Gu Shu

Pricy, but very good tea. Bitter and astringent but at the same time very smooth. I'll store this one carefully and come back to it year after year to see how it ages.
