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.

A tea of great character, typicity and persistence, with complex aromas and flavours and a particularly engrossing qi which evolves over the course of the session. Score: 19/20

A beautiful and characterful pot which serves semi-aged teas very well. It combines its distinctive design with friendly ergonomics (once I stopped pouring too quickly and scalding myself on the soup that escapes through the top of the lid).

Distinctive tea with a watermelon flavoured rinse and hints of something more profound. Immediately sweet with a refreshing uplift. Mouthcoating and great persistence. Very smooth, very comfortable, happy tea with a lovely balance to it.

It’s difficult to do justice to this masterpiece. It may not be as exquisitely balanced and subtle as the CYH 2001 Manzhuan, but what an amazing depth, what an astonishing strength. I agree it seems a bit older than it is — you’d easily think it has matured for 30 years or even a bit more: still, very clean, and offering distinct shades of fragrance, if I may say so (petrichor and so on, as one would expect for a tea that has aged very well). Yes, there’s something to it that is reminiscent (at least to me) of dry-stored MengHai cakes from the early 1980s.
Due to its strength, I would recommend getting acquainted with it with slightly lesser doses than standard at first (e. g. 3.5g or 4g/100ml). The higher dilution helps showing the various layers of this extraordinary Pu Er.
Really really grateful for this. More so when I think of what this tea will certainly be like in 10-20 years. If I could give it ten stars, I would.
