Gu shu is great, but not cheap. Go for smaller cakes first or get a sample would be our advice.

I was always so fixated on the leaf grade, but now I know it’s all a matter of taste! Gu shu is new for me, will explore 🙂

No. The pu erh grading only tells you the kind of leaves used. Higher grades often have a more complex flavour, while lower grades are often more strongly fermented with sweeter flavours. So what you like, will depend on your personal taste. Sometimes, leaves of different grades are blended by the tea master, to create more balanced flavours.
