anyone of you interested in CNNP 2010 Bulang Shan 200g cake?

I'm thinking to share out the cost if I can get someone else to buy 5 toong because I only need 1 toong.

approximate price is RM 418 (RM 1 = RMB 1.83)
approximate shipping charges is RM 145 (RM 12/kg * 10 + RM 25 sensitive good charges)

so all in all, it's about RM 94/toong for 1.4kg of tea!!!

can't even get 1 decent Dayi 2010 357g beeng at RM 94 now.

PM me if interested.

Else, it's RMB 220/toong here http://list.tmall.com/search_shopitem.htm?...1_&stype=search and works out to be about RM 170 all-in.

NICE! mind sharing where u got it from?

By the way, a bunch of us are on a whatsapp group, can PM me ur number if u'd like to join! now and then we organize tea sessions n stuff too!

I would advise you guys to get to know a shop real well then buy from them, these fairs you go look see taste taste ok la but you can also get con at fairs. I kena before at a tea fair in the mines. Bought some tea equipment, told me can claim warranty from their shop. Turns out its a ghost shop.

Tropicana fair I kena fake tea. Gave up on fairs. Now I only buy from shops I'm familiar with for expansive tea or just go taiwan to get better tea at cheaper price, can say HK is also cheaper too. BTW I drink oolong and ti kun yan green tea, not much of a po-le fan.

Just sharing hope did not offend anyone.

could u pm me the price and also the name of shop?

i've bought one much like yours (short and fat i call it) but not fully handmade. can't show a pic as it's curing inside tea + water just. need 7 days to see if it really matters. my first time curing a pot. the retailer is from a shop in pearl point. i thought i got a good discount by almost 20%. but then again, most things are set out to be over priced.

the funny thing is, there is a cake of 7542 801 selling for rm 120. imo, it could worth up to rm 200. it is too cheap so i was afraid to buy it. if it's rm 120 in a retail shop (not expo) setting, I would have given it a try.

the xia guan booth also feature a 250gm bing dao tuo for rm 250. not bad price at all but i was really broke as i came straight in after a holiday.

anyone else at the fair?

No picture yet as I started curing the pot yesterday night. My pot is not artist pot so rm 230 (retail at rm 280) was a good deal for me.

What I did was simmer 1/2 hour in clear water in a pot lined with cheese cloth. After that simmer another 1/2 hour with some Dayi 7542 When it's cooled, I put the tea and pot into a sandwich bag and wait 7 days. For me, this is just an experiment to see if the pot really lock in the tea oil.

My other pot for cooked tea (shu) also a yixing looses its smell a day after washing with just plain water. However, this pot is not season or cured. Hence the experimentation.

Haha, i went to the expo like 3 or 4 times during the week, i believe it's over di.

First time attending... but didn't have much booths to hang out at as i'm more of a yan cha kaki...hehe... but got a couple of decent pots la (i think)

@KittyKat, would be awesome to go check out pots with u one day... wanna learn more and how not to get ripped off...hehe

@quikstep , wah, seasoning pot need 7 days ah? what's ur process like? my current process is to select the tea i wanna use the pot for, brew as per normal, and dump the water into a bowl... empty the pot of leaves and soak it in the tea for one day

@kittykat

No la, haven't gone yet... really dun plan to buy anything... just wanna learn more about teapots and clay...hehehe

@ndgoh
CONGRATS!

my attempt on artistic shot

I'm sure that wasn't a copy n paste job, it seemed so unprepared and impromptu....lol, good job puregreenteas, very believable... reading ur posts makes me feel like i'm talking to a friend...

anyway, @kittykat, u know any teashops in KL that are more knowledgeable or carry a wide variety of teapots/wares? or have to just visit everywhere to find out? hehe

Yeah, but i bought my Dah Yu Ling from Taiwan, still costed more than that. maybe tourist price kut... but either way, still much cheaper than KL. only place i found carrying Dah Yu Ling was Hojo... and they sell it for a bomb... like few times more than tourist price in taiwan

looks like a very well made pot. desires it more than your avatar.

sipping some 2007 Dayi Silver Color while trying to stay up for midnight match. The color of the soup has certainly deepen but the flavor or intensity seemed like did not evolve after 1 yr. lonely beeng.

no need to clean. it's probably a small and really black bird in front of the clouds
