This episode, Denny and I drink one of the most powerful teas we’ve brought onto the show, the 2005 Nanqiao Bulang Double Lions. The tea has been stored very well in Malaysia and packs strength powerful enough that indicates it could be aged for another 15 years!

This tea has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s too bad it’s so pricy, but well worth getting at least a cake of. Their cheaper 04 Nanqiao Bulang is quite nice too and much cheaper!
Cheers
Hi Nick,
Thanks for the comment. This one has been very strong in all of the sessions I’ve had with it.
I agree about the 2004 Nanqiao. It’s quite different from this tea but good quality. I haven’t had the version from TWL yet, but have worked through a large sample of the cake before. Very decent for the price.
Cheers,
-James
