FS: Tea, Teapots & Tea book -- Summer Cleaning!

Ma Bao -- a 90s Liu Bao via Chanting Pines, 150g bag (unopened) 2. Fu Lu Yuan Cha 2012 - sheng puerh 25g bag (sealed) 3. Chen Ju Fang's Da Bin Hu teapot - 50ml Diamon...

Re: FS: Wistaria's Hong Yin & Lan Yin
Hong Yin & Lan Yin are gone. There's still Wangong left and I'm happy to do a smaller portion of 25g for $30 a pop.

Re: FS: Wistaria's Hong Yin & Lan Yin
Just realized I've been selling these at loss because I got the conversion rate wrong and forgot to add shipping from Taiwan :oops: Anyway, only a few portions left. But I'd need to update the price: Lan Yin -> $30 and Hong Yin -> $38. Wangong -> $60. Cheers! These are not bad teas by any means. I'm...

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking
Wait...are we still talking about big factory stuff???
@vuanguyen
While I’m not particularly taken by YQH’s stuff, their puerh is legit and Emmett is trustworthy. Of course, it’s very understandable why one might feel uncomfortable about the whole puerh scene...

Re: Tea Factory versus Private Production
I sampled many (bought samples, drank at tea stores, drank at tea houses), and prefer the flavors and body feels of particular boutique labels over the others

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking
@debunix Yeah...doesn't look like puerh at all. Do you enjoy the tea on its own merit though?
Had my last serving of some Spring 2019 Chawangshu this morning. Wonderful tea!

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking
I am puzzled why they are calling it puerh, when their description suggests that they were not trying for an earthy flavor, which is one of the nicer and more grounding aspects of puerh for me. Hmm...I'm pretty sure that the current official definition of Puerh (per the Chinese government) requires...

Re: Buying Pu'erh for the long haul
If that was not your intention, then it's really unnecessary to propagate a stereotype.
Saying "I'm not XYZ-ist but..." is still XYZ-ist.

Re: Buying Pu'erh for the long haul
I think a lot of these decisions really come down to personal preferences. I would start with thinking about the common aspects in the teas I enjoy drinking. Another important factor not to be ignored is whether your preferences will change over the years. While the very high end fresh puerh are mul...

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking
Had Gaoshan gushu 2018 and 2019 on consecutive days. The sweetness was more pronounced in the older cake.
I then switched gear to Qing Teng for a late afternoon treat. It was decent, but failed to remind me of why I purchased a cake of it...

I still haven’t tried any of EoT 2020 lineup because I’ve spent all my tea budget on Yiwu Mountain Tea
