I neglected to mention this tea is the same diameter as a 357g beeng, the extra 50g is in thickness.

Scott'...Sorry the comparison didn't happen! Scott's teas age at the speed of glacier movement in his storage so to do a true comparison would need a 2004 not a 2014 hehe. Or two different vintages that you purchased the same time and stored yourself. Someone really needs to start a business of buying YS current year cakes and storing themselves :P. I'd happily pay an upcharge, as it is, his earliest productions have just begun to show the tiniest bit of age and his mid-productions not a whiff. I got to try his (not his brand) 2007 "LBZ" brick recently through a friend and it was shocking how young it tasted/brewed.<br /><br />Regarding photos of soup color, I would be very skeptical. I recently noticed that every YS puer starting I believe in 2020 suddenly looks way darker than it should, which I believe is merely due to lighting, teaware, photo technique or anything but the tea itself. If you compare a 2020 tea soup color to say a 2018 on his site the difference will be very obvious though I doubt the teas were processed much differently. I strongly doubt that the 2020 YS shengs brew near as dark as they appear in the photos.<br /><br />Cheers!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04313584862785239812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373256628108442713.post-11044252696123973022021-01-21T17:46:04.186-06:002021-01-21T17:46:04.186-06:00Thanks for reading!Thanks for reading!Cwynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990034926886208526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4373256628108442713.post-88716086669233826432021-01-21T16:45:41.993-06:002021-01-21T16:45:41.993-06:00Thanks for the review!
