2007 – Duo Te Li 5350 – Raw Liu Bao – 500g Brick - Bought 4. Plan to buy another 4 the next trip.

5350 : the first number "5" means using tea harvested in 2005 as material

Unusual and rare Sheng Liubao brick tea. The processing method is similar to Raw (Sheng) Pu-erh. Sun-dried maocha and natural aging process without "wo dui" fermentation. Chosen better material than common Liubao Shu brick tea, pressed to brick and stored two years in factory. 2007 is the packing date. Used the same quality tea inside and outside, a very good selection of Liubao tea!

How many pieces are there in 1 box? I bought RM25/piece.

Confirm pretty boh? [fixed].
uhm... she on holiday?

Someone advice me...
My reply...

No offence taken for the advices. Buying Dayi is my personal preference.  Beside buying them for drinking, I like to buy them for collection. Like anything worth collecting, the feeling of seeing something getting sought after and price appreciated is kind of nice. Not like I have enough to sell, but I like it.

As for taste, I do agree that Dayi tea has the similarity. They call it the ‘Menghai/Dayi’ taste which only Menghai/Dayi has it. Depending on the recipe, the taste may differ a little. Some of them taste very similar, but some you can tell them it is special.

Reasons I don’t buy others often is because I already have few KGs of non big factory which is more than enough for me now. Moreover, like some already know, we get to drink free tea here from young to aged easily. We can easily ask samples to take home too, I have a full bag of samples…

That said, I like many non Dayi… just that I don’t intend to buy them yet as I can get to drink them often and buying Dayi is part of my collecting preference.

Tea is a very personal thing. You can like it, I may not...vice versa. Drink what you like, buy what you like  8)

To find the mystery of the stickers, I did a scan through my Ripe Dayi and I noticed a pattern. Only certain type of sticker respond. And if those that doesn't respond, if used by other recipe across different years will remain not respond too.

When free, I will try to scan through my Raw Dayi but my assumptions are that it will return same results.


All my other ripe using the same sticker as the Jin Zhuan will respond.

Yesterday, someone abroad asked me to hunt for 88 Ching Bing (Malaysia storage) and I found it today.

According to the boss, there is no 88 Ching Bing that is 100% stored in Malaysia. The batch that he has is personally stored in Malaysia for more than 10 years.

1980s dont' know what ripe - I tried this last time and I remember it as the disgusting cockroach ripe pu. Revisit this again. No more cockroach taste, but still not nice. Yuck.

my teapot used to include the thread connecting the tea lid and also the handle.  But after awhile I notice that there are some uneven shining around the lid and handle.  So I cut the thread and set my teapot free!

To my knowledge there are more than 20 types of drinking tea apparatus and can completely exhibit and release the fragrance of it. Haha seems like is quite complicated to get started. It's more cost-conscious than drinking Coffee.

cannot. later stimix the mod come disturb. he knows i spend a lot on my chinese tea collection. and he even purchased tea through me . and he drink  all my chinese tea also.

In fact most are not Zhuni, thats why i am so frustrated. If it wasnt for Danchong, i wouldnt care for this clay at all. Betul-betul racist, this tea, hahaha...
