QUOTE(PSG-1 @ May 27 2011, 08:22 AM) It's located in Tow Boo Keong Temple Ipoh. The address is: No. 2, Jln Tokong, 31650 Ipoh, Perak U can google for "Tow Boo Keong Temple Ipoh" for the map. It's located just further from The Store Jln Kampar. If u want to see night life in Ipoh, u can check out Ipoh Garden East (just further from Jusco) and Ipoh Greentown. Airport near Jusco is considered a luxurious place to spend in Ipoh... There are Dayi and Mengku there but it is fake. Other tea is ok as it is reasonable price. One good thing about China store is that you can nego for low prices. |

There are reasons for tea merchants to label the date differently but they should be honest with buyers when comes to year of production. For example, 88 ching bing is not from year 88. It is just a label.

QUOTE(auhckw @ Jun 25 2011, 07:04 PM) 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 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. |

QUOTE(auhckw @ Jun 25 2011, 10:28 PM) 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.  |

QUOTE(auronthas @ Jun 26 2011, 11:28 AM) How much is Liu Bao per kg? I bought 1 basket Liu Bao (Guangxi Wuzhou, 'Three Crane' brand) approx. 5.6kg for RM 180. It depends on age and grade. I think you bought at good price. 3 cranes brand are more expensive liu bao tea. The puer tea you got also quite good.  |

QUOTE(auhckw @ Jun 28 2011, 06:20 PM) Jing Mai 2010 Raw - Single Estate harvest. This gives a very good aroma and light soothing flavor. Though it is 2010, it is very easy to drink now. Not bitter and not astrigency. This falls nicely under 'buy 2 drink now' category. Women fav raw puerh. Nowdays hardcore drinker are looking for Bing Dao. Soon to be as pricey as Lao Ban Zhang. |

QUOTE(slimfox @ Jun 29 2011, 11:27 PM) well actually I'm new to tea drinking too that is why I have been going around testing and drinking. The type of tea that captured my taste buds are Taiwanese tea. So I've been hoping to learn from you seniors about good shops with good selections with good pricing etc. Hope you guys can share There is one shop in Amcorp Mall specialising in Taiwan High mountain tea. You should go there and give it a try |

QUOTE(auhckw @ Jun 30 2011, 10:07 PM) Few months ago they had this. RM2.5/tuo and it was sold out. This is someone's purchase, and he asked teali to sell. RM5/tuo It is a good tea, but I find it lacking the xiaguan usual 'smoky' taste RM5 is expensive liao. The 250g in the box is selling RM13 at the tea expo recently. |

QUOTE(slimfox @ Jul 3 2011, 11:20 PM) I am new to this hobby. Can you please tell me which type of tea variant is overprice and (this is what I want to know most) which shops are over price so I can just avoid them. You can't judge a tea by its price. You have to taste it first and if you think it is good and reasonable pricing, then you buy. Shops that are slightly expensive are those at shopping centre such as Purple Cane, Hojo etc due to its high rental but they still got some premium tea that you can't get it elsewhere... |
