    Exactly what you’d expect : not the longest patience, but extremely clean, typical of that era’s shu Pu Erhs, only better. Hard to give 5 stars when you’re reviewing CYH’s Manzhuan pure gushu at the same time, so I’ll stick to 4, but this is quite a good find at quite a good price.

    I must agree with Mr. Yoshimura, the previous reviewer: this is a work of art. Exquisite balance, wonderful patience, calm strength, absolutely no defect, mind-hacking. I would indeed place it above the 2001 & 2002 CYH Yiwu Gushu (which are already absolutely wonderful teas in their own right).

    I’m not very experienced in NaKa Pu Erh, but I happened to be able to confront a (very good) old tree 2019 NaKa small cake to this one. The 2020 is indeniably quite superior, especially in the first steepings : much more fragrance, perfect cleanliness and purity. It’s a pleasure to be able to explore those terroirs in such privileged conditions. Thanks !

    5 stars because it’s a bargain. It’s perfectly clean — I even tried it in a gaiwan, no defects to speak of. (Obviously it tastes even better when brewed in a proper YiXing teapot.) While not of an extraordinary material, it is well balanced and has the irreplaceable charm of old tea. Yes, if indeed it’s from the late 90s, you’d easily think it’s 5-10 years older. Anyway: great ! Don’t hesitate to push it a bit.
