Anyone drinking cooked puerh lately?
I seem to be drinking cooked puerh now and then but seems like there is no place for shu puerh here.
The other night I had 07 Fuhai Large Leaf Ripe cake. It was surprisingly nice. Not so much fermentation smell or taste but a sweet woody broth was what this inexpensive tea brewed. It tastes a bit empty in that the leaves are of very low grade but whole. It is thick and creamy. I really liked this stuff.
Tonight I had 07 7452 Menghai. It tasted much better than last year but the broth was very cloudy. Was there a processing problem? It tasted much weaker and bland than other menghai ripe cakes. Even if this cake was selling for the same price as the 07 Fuhai, I would still go for the 07 Fuhai. Menghai cakes are good examples of how cooked puerh can mature, I think.
