I am rather new and inexperienced in the world of tea and my introduction to puerh was through mini tuo cha which I happened to like even though my understanding is they are at the low end of what is out there. I imagine over time I will lay aside a few uncooked puerh for use in the future but I am wondering how these old leaf mushrooms are for today.
Who has tried them and how are they?
Here is a link to them on ebay -
These are a good puerh to age. I like these Baoyan mushrooms a lot. However 2003 is NOT considered old yet and these will still be rather harsh as far as young greens go. There are some other choices for these out there as well.
One choice would be this vendor has the 2005 version for $15 for 3 shrooms.
Or this vendor who has the same thing from 1999 for $15.40 per shroom.
Personally I think a newbie would find the young ones rather harsh, I would recommend trying the 1999 one which is cheap enough and will at least have the edge knocked off of it. I have tasted all three of these choices and I liked the 1999 one the best myself.

Thanks- I have some of the 99 on order, I'll report back after I have sampled them.
