The blink blink may be quartz, I have two green clay teapots bought from China, Wuxi Province, Yixin City. (See photo below).



If you understand Chinese, there's name for both green teapots.
最左边茶壶为＂一片清心＂（绿砂，工艺师－周才军）
最右边茶壶为＂水上漂＂（绿砂）
此二茶壶购于中国无锡宜兴，帅元紫砂艺苑


I was told this type of teapot is best to brew half-fermented tea such as Tie Quan Yin, Wu Long tea.

For Pu Er tea, purple clay pot is the most suitable, the darker for the ripe Pu Er.

Before the event, the tea shops participating in the expo will submit a tea from their shop, then the organizer will package it into small samples without label. In total, 40 diff type of teas were collected and compiled into a box set.

From the info I heard, there are 600 box sets distributed. It is a blind tasting competition as there are no info on the samples just a label. Participants will then have to rate the tea in return for a lucky draw.

Results are out and the are 5 gold and 5 silver award being selected.

Somebody's purchase. 4 out of the 5 tea that won the gold award

Dayi 70th Anniversary Raw + Ripe





Copycat

1997 CNNP Yiwu Raw - I was drinking this with a senior and he said this is what the old timers would like to drink for a Yiwu tea. I am so used to the young Yiwu which is light and gives good aroma, but this is a totally different kind of Yiwu taste. It tasted complicated. Frankly, this tea is not a love on first sip kind of tea for me. Maybe need to drink a couple of times more to acquired the taste.

90s Liu Bao - The shop was promoting this, and my expectations were raised after I heard the price tag. After giving it a try, it was a let down. It is smooth but flat and light. Can't feel much aftertaste except dryness. Maybe the quantity he used is too little. For the price tag it carry, I would expect more.

2005 Liu Bao (Golden Award from Tea Expo) - This is one out of the forty blind tasting samples sent out to participants interested to try before the Expo. It eventually won the gold award after being voted by hundreds of tea drinkers. It is the only Liu Bao that won the gold award.

I was with a senior today, and he was saying he don't want to try/buy cause it will be just another Liubao and he has plenty (young and very old). Eventually we went to try. And we were suprised how good it is at the price. The taste is very good for a young liubao. Very warm feeling when drinking. Strong aroma and deep flavored. As it gets lighter from many infusions, it remains sweet. It gives a very longlasting overtaste.

The booth that is selling this is crowded with people and most of them are all praising it. Eventually we bought it

A teapot maker from china in the Tea Expo was promoting this tea... yixing hong tea. He said it is his local tea more common than puerh





I really don't like red tea no matter how many attempts I tried... took a few sips... then no thank u

I drank this before at Ipoh last time. Selling less than half of what is at the expo. Now wins gold award, the price fly sky high.

When did you drink it? The shop owner said after expo, price will increase.

Her story was she got 30 baskets and sold it to many people... don't tell me she bought it from the 'lat chiu chai' shop?

Not too long ago I drank this. Someone bought the whole lot and consign the tea for her to sell. All I know this tea is limited as they can't reproduce the flavour anymore due to lack of raw material in China.

My friend bought 3kg at RM180/kg
The lady said, if buy 44kg.. RM150/kg

How much is Liu Bao per kg? I bought 1 basket Liu Bao (Guangxi Wuzhou, 'Three Crane' brand) approx. 5.6kg for RM 200
