1990's Puerh Tea Review By A.D. Fisher

While I can find enjoyment in most any tea, I find very little pleasure in evaluating semi-aged Puerh tea. Though there is something to be learned from watching the miraculous fermentation occur, the teas are often not pleasant to drink. I think that Puerh tea is perhaps best enjoyed when...

Summing Up the Puerh Teas

Zhou Yu: These teas are all from the 90's, which means they all have about ten years of storage. The popular opinion at that time was that drinking new sheng tea was unhealthy, causing headaches and other ailments. Because of that, many of the teas were put into wet-storage to...

92 Meihai Shiao Fang Chuan Tea F - Tea Review - F

Zhou Yu: This tea's flavor was light. Its liquor had a bit of hui gan and was slightly thicker and denser. The ten years or so of storage in this cake have not been enough. It needs a lot longer to transform more, but it is an acceptable tea in...

88 Ching Bing Mo Tai Ban YUNNAN CHI TSE BEEING CHA TEA (Kept in Artifical Bin) - Tea Review - B

Zhou Yu: I felt that this tea was the wettest of all the teas in this discussion. It has nearly no character at all, though I feel that the leaves are nice. Its liquor is much stronger than the previous tea, and the wet storage has made it sweet. If...

88 Ching Bing Tai Ban YUNNAN CHI TSE BEEING CHA TEA (Kept in Natural Bin) - Tea Review - A

Zhou Yu: This tea has been wet stored. Its liquor has a strange flavor. It seemed loose, light, and wasn't smooth enough. I think its quality has perished from too much wet storage. I also don't think it is very active in terms of future prospects because of the increased...
