Default 2004 Mengku Wu Chi Dao Wild Large Leaf

Hi all,

I recently tried this cake, "2004 Mengku Wu Chi Dao Wild Large Leaf",

<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4428079052>

and was just a bit disappointed. I'd be interested if anyone else,
especially one of the Pu-erh people, has tried it as well, and what their
reactions were. My tastes are still developing. However, it wouldn't
come as a terrific shock to learn, for example, that the reason the tea
is described as "affordable" (is it really a good value for wild large
leaf?) is because the factory isn't the best, or that 2004 was an
off-year there, or it really wasn't aged enough, or what have you. (Of
course, could be that I just prefer cooked...)

My ignorance is formidable, and a knowledgeable response would be helpful in
reducing it. :-) Thank you.

Ozzy
