It's a bit much. As you would've heard a lot of material moves from places like Vietnam and Laos into Yunnan to become pu'er, which is the same theme you referenced, that more is used as blending material from different types than would typically be clear. The one Moychay Yongde Ye Sheng I reviewed this year was especially nice, which they were selling as a premium tea, per their description and pricing. To me it seemed exceptional and still a reasonable value, but then it helped that it was a much better than average version of that kind of thing.John Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00485492978163517529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5896101085985164789.post-65260852336915154232021-07-11T07:28:32.365-07:002021-07-11T07:28:32.365-07:00Keo is getting tall John!
I am like you on substa...Keo is getting tall John! <br />I am like you on substandard things I just don't write much about. I think with the current pricing of some of Yunnan's regions that not only consumers but vendors as well are looking for alternatives in the market. Supply and demand has made much mainstream productions very costly as of late. Wild or forest tea is often blended in some productions more than what is generally disclosed. I think there is a bitter and a sweet version of wild tea. Some call it Ye Sheng and some of it can be tasty but as you noted without much longevity. Are lines blurred here, I think sometimes and many times under our noses. <br />mrm.john roupehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12837847817665825902noreply@blogger.com
