Menghai blend from Haiwan tea company consisting some material from old trees " Lao Shu ". Slight fruity notes achieved by ageing in dry storage along with woody ones which might be even dominating in certain infusions during your session. Some astringency is also present revealing this is a blend with small trees , which also is reflected on price. ( pure material would be more expensive ) .

Haiwan Tea Factory (Tea Útja)Ever since falling in love with the Haiwan 7458, I have wanted to try this famous cake of theirs. I found this older example from YC, and it is the primary reason I placed an order from them. I must say, this does not disappoint! A wonderful tea for the price :).
“Shen Shan Lao Shu” means “remote mountain, old tree.” The YC website acknowledges that this seems to be a blend of gushu and arbor trees. Nonetheless, it is an exquisite puerh. Thick, oily mouthfeel. Hui gan lasts minutes. Minimal, tickly astringency in some of the middle steeps. Longevity is great at 12-15+ steeps.
I want SO BADLY to buy a cake or two of this beauty. I would gladly pay $0.18/g as that is a steal. However, I am afraid to buy any at the moment as I refuse to pay the 145% tariffs that will likely be levied against its importation >:((((.

I thought the tariffs were on a 90 pause for negotiations.
The 90-day pause does not apply to China.
Also, the United States’ duty-free de minimis exemption ends May 2, for parcels valued at $800 or less shipped from China and Hong Kong. Hefty duties will be applied starting May 2 and will increase on June 1.
Will China/Hong Kong parcels valued $800 or less have 145% tariffs applied in addition to the duties to be paid starting May 2? Or is the 145% only for larger imports valued more than $800?
That was my understanding as well – the 90 day exemption does not apply to china. It’s a sad time we are living in…
If you need a mediator living in the EU; which would a) lead to 90-days-pause; b) lower tariffs, I can do my best.
But those times are sad and scary…
Martin – thank you so much for the offer! I’ll definitely consider it and let you know :)
Marshall – there are some tariffs between China and EU, and EU and US but in total I assume they should be a bit lower.
