As far as it's peak...<br />I've had puerh from the 1960's that still retained a full flavour and aroma, and without a doubt, the smoothness was unparalleled to me at the time. I think this tea can handle 10 or 20 more years of storage and still retain all of the 'awesome' packed within those leaves. the 8972 in my opinion - is a great product! I think you've found something really good.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />Bryan ChitwoodBryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11887146212773750891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-8008069632156362112012-05-23T21:00:27.964-04:002012-05-23T21:00:27.964-04:00Yeah, I'm also curious to try this one, especi...Yeah, I'm also curious to try this one, especially as I was thinking of previously getting some of the TW butterfly tuo!Nick Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01543497413262895759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-48855250086694810642012-05-22T14:08:08.199-04:002012-05-22T14:08:08.199-04:00Hi GN, you can email me your address and I will se...Hi GN, you can email me your address and I will send you samples of both. The 8972 will be available in store soon. The 96 Menghai tuo will not at least in near future. I somehow feel it's a good tea by objective standards, but at this stage it's not my favorite.Gingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516171423954184083.post-24350328695681930942012-05-22T11:01:36.492-04:002012-05-22T11:01:36.492-04:00Are you going to stock this and the 96 menghai in...Are you going to stock this and the 96 menghai in your shop.
