So which tong are you laying down from his birth year? My son got 7452.
An outstanding photo - really lovely.
My wife has recently discovered that if she breaks her ban on tea, and has a tiny cup or two in the morning with me, then it helps her morning sickness - I bet it's similarly healing for you, too
SotD: the 1995 CNNP so kindly given to us by Keng. This cake was so nice (and well-priced) that I had to buy a tong, which arrived this morning. Frighteningly good.

Some more 2010 Nadacha "Bulang" punishment today. I don't like the price, but I like the tea. Some fruit, some tobacco, plenty of aggression.

The prices? Ouch! Having seen the price list of Nada's new offering's I,m afraid I,m gonna have to pass on them. With the cost of shipping it puts them into the category of "When Pigs Fly" just not in my budget.
2005 Changtai Golden Bamboo Mountain.
This is uninspired. The scent of the wet leaves is great, the liquor thick, but besides that it's lacking heart and soul. Almost completely lacking raw strength, it needs to be pushed to reveal a decent character or flavor. This only further cements my belief that I dislike all Changtai tea made in 05 or later.
I bought one of those several months ago. My first impression was, ah...it's O.K. But lately Ive been enjoying it. Now, Ive no plans on buyng another, but Ive no regrets for the money spent either. For my tastes the Chang Tai Menghai Qiao cakes are exellent.
