From the same year of production (2006), two tea cakes, one big and one small, with similar wrapping paper appearance are not exactly the same in terms of tastes, however. 
 
Yunnan tea cakes are not soft drinks.  The tastes of various batches can be so different that they taste contrarily as if they were thousands of miles apart. 
 
The mini-tea cakes (145g) are cute and taste gorgeously great.  They are definitely suitable for gift giving or self-use. 




If you are experienced and have better information, it is easy for you to find beautiful teas, which are inexpensive and gorgeous.
 
In fact, Bingdao (冰島) is actually just one of the villages from the Mengku Eighteen Villages, which locate across the East-half Mountain (東半山) and West-half Mountain (西半山) of Mengku. There are many ancient large-leaf species tea trees from these villages.  Furthermore, the Mengku county is also the first place where tea trees were artificially cultivated.  They are known as the very famous Mengku large-leaf species.

As long as the 2006 Mengku Rongshi Mini Tea Cake 145g (Special Grade)(Dry Storage) continues to age, it will inherit the great fascinating aged taste of 2000 ~ 2001 Bai Cha Tang (百茶堂) Mengku Mini Tea Cake (125g), which is actually the preview aged taste of 2006 Mengku Rongshi Mini Tea Cake 145g (Special Grade)(Dry Storage).
 
The 2006 Mengku Rongshi Mini Tea Cake 145g (Special Grade)(Dry Storage) will definitely soon become a well aged good tea because its taste is full of good characteristics of high-quality Mengku tea.  When this 145g mini tea cake ages successfully with the obvious fantastic aged taste and aroma, the tea lovers and connoisseurs are very willing to pursue this tea with high price.


  • Tea broth of 2006 Mengku Roshi Mini Tea Cake 145g 〔Special Grade〕 (Red Trademark Ticket)
 
This mini-tea cake has thick tea broth with sweet and “gan” aftertaste. The smooth texture is rich and pleasant.  The astringency is turning into mellowness with high degree of vividness.  The dry storage of this tea is essential for providing you a long-lasting pleasant aftertaste, which is so refreshing.


These small tea cakes are wrapped by beautiful bamboo leaves as a whole stack. According to Mengku Roshi’s tradition, the stack is not tied by iron wire, but with the bamboo strips which are more traditional.



  • The above products are "Red Trademark Ticket Edition".

  • [Very Cute Appearance with Amazingly Great Taste]
 
These small tea cakes are wrapped by beautiful bamboo leaves as a whole stack. According to Mengku Roshi’s tradition, the stack is not tied by iron wire, but with the bamboo strips which are more traditional. When you open the top of bamboo stack, you will find the small Seven-son (Qizi) tea cakes (7 mini tea cakes) are gently tied together. 
 
Since each tea cake weighs about 145g, the whole stack of tea adds up to 1kg only. Therefore, although it is also named as “a whole stack”, actually, it’s equivalent to 3 standard-sized 357g tea cakes only.

Traditionally, tea cakes were mainly 357g. Not like the mini liquor, Puerh tea did not have the mini-tea cake market in the past. From the collectors' point of views, they fitted for the purposes:-
 
1)If Puerh tea became enthusiastic in the future, it would be a good and suitable gift because an aged 145g mini-tea cake was an intact cake (even though the presentee did not like the gift, only 145g precious aged vintage would be wasted);
 
2)Space is limited in Hong Kong, its small size was good for storage;
 
3)As it has small volume, the surface area to volume ratio will be larger for better aging;
 
4)Mini stuff always gave people a cute perception.
 


Brewing Tool:
Use a tea bowl (Gaiwan) or a purple clay teapot.

Amount of Tea leaves:
10g or one third of the brewing utensil's volume.

Before you brew:
Rinse it with boiled water once, it will not be drunk and thus will not be counted as the first infusion.

Brewing method:
Add boiled water and brew for:-
5 seconds (1st infusion),
10 seconds (2nd infusion),
15 seconds (3rd infusion),
20 seconds (4th infusion),
30 seconds (5th infusion),
45 seconds (6th infusion),
60 seconds (7th infusion),
90 seconds (8th infusion),
and brew it as many times as you want until the tea broth is not strong enough.

  • Cloud said, “Drinking Puerh is an art for the Poor and the Rich.
 
The expensive Puerh has its appreciation value, but it doesn’t mean that the inexpensive Puerh must have bad quality.  Maybe, its low price is just due to the reality that the market doesn’t know and has no idea about that low price Puerh tea only.

  • Storage means the Conditions of the Tea Cakes
“Storage” of Puerh tea always confuses novices.  Warehouse means the place for storing stuff or stocks.  However, the Dry Storage, Natural Storage and Wet Storage of Puerh tea are not referring to the storage conditions of the warehouse.  In fact, Dry, Natural and Wet Storage are the terms for describing the storage status (i.e. ageing condition) of the tea cake itself.  In other words, these 3 terms are referring to the degree of wetness of a tea cake.  If a tea cake is affected by high humidity, we will describe it as “Wet Storage”.  If a tea cake is affected by low humidity, we will describe it as “Dry Storage”.


  • Health functions of Puerh tea
In the famous Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica (《本草綱目拾遺》) written by Zhao Xuemin (1765, the Qing dynasty), Puerh tea was described as "the first choice to refresh people's brain from too much drink, effective in promoting digestion and reducing phlegm, clearing away the stomach-heat and producing the body fluid. In particular, it tastes mild and slightly sweet, good for dispelling fats and detoxification, and promoting inner circulation.”
