Correction...

It is "2004 Mengku Yuan Gu Wu Chi Dao Large Leaf Tea Hand Processing Tea Factory"

The company's name is the one minus "2004". Wu Chi Dao was one of the Tea-Horse route passing through Da Li, I'm not sure if it is still in use though...

Get them guns ready? Haha. Hardly required. You need to know where to look. Your friends all over the tea industry aren't being frank with you then.

We should count ourselves lucky then, those who have some great old teas to drink.

About your cake Ozzy,

Let it air for a month and try it again. It still has moisture trapped in it, let the stale moisture dissipate before drinking.

You guys are misunderstanding me. I said that it's not as easy to find

10-20 year old tea as you may think it is. And, it's so easy to fake it, that it's nearly impossible to really know. It's just a question, not an accusation. What is everything you think you know is wrong?

Mydnight, I think there is a much bigger issue here: If It's so commonly faked, and if it's nearly impossible to know, why bother aging the damned stuff, since in that case a faked version will do just as well? The question -- you meant "if," not "is," right? -- is a good one.
