quikstep, would you mind sharing, how much does a decent raw puer cost roughly?

I'm still new to puer tea and at our last session, had some... erm... not so great experience with raw puerh. lol, so hope to find sth to set the bar and not make me give up on it. hehe...

We're planning to meet at Tea Li for our next session. I think the point of the whole trip is to set our wallets on fire...lol. there's a Dao Hong Pao there that i rather fancy, so plan to sapu a bit more of it!

I have a feeling that will be very hard.... lol

only info i found for tea expo this yr was at Viva Home, 8th May.... the Tropicana City Mall one, info i found is frm last yr i think

quikstep KittyKat

I'm good for weekdays. but ad-hoc la due to the nature of my work.

Kittykat, i'm more into Wuyi Cliff Tea as well... trying to learn about Puerh, but my heart still with Wuyi tea... hope can learn a thing or two from you!

If wan, u guys can pm me ur fb, then we chatting chatting there n set appointment for session la

I bought a 2007 Da Hong Pao lightlu roasted, 2007 Rou Gui traditional style roasting (not 100% sure bout the yr, but should b 2007 frm what i recall) and i also got a 90s Lao Shu Qiao Mu raw puerh.

was quite an eye (or mouth) opening session for me... hehehe... slowly getting to understand puerh tea a bit better now.

ndgoh , i was there with @romeolee, we were there like from 2 something until almost 7pm...hahaha, tried alot of different type of teas and made some new friends. so the answer to ur question is a YES!

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!

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

Anyone interested to go for Teapot Exhibition by Purple Cane?

Kinda keen to check it out coz wanna learn more about tea pots... but doubt will buy anything la (i hope...)

@kittykat

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

@ndgoh
CONGRATS!

LOL, it's almost as if it's a bot

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

Ah ok, hey do u have any contacts or recommendation for tea shops in taiwan? I really feel like going back there to find more tea n teaware... found the first tea that got me started in tea in taiwan... so have a bit of a soft spot for the place

Yup! it was my first tea and still one of my favourites! got stock of it at home!

OMG! RM200 for 600g?!?!? that's a steal!

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

Hehe yeah true. but funny thing was last time when i visited Hojo, i asked about their Dah Yu Ling... and their first question was how did i know about that tea.

After i mentioned that i bought from taiwan... they gave up on trying to promote it to me, saleslady said she know i won't buy from them coz i know the price in taiwan...hehehe... anyway, tried it before, and to me, what they sell is pretty on par with what i got from taiwan!


Kitty Kat, hope u can recommend me some tea merchants in Taiwan, i do hope to go there again... probably next yr. then will include tea/tea ware hunting in my itinerary...

Veli nais! any info bout the clay or model?

Wah,after puer kena goreng now they gonna goreng black tea?!

Seriously hope they never goreng Yan Cha... if not i really die...

Any folks planning to go Viva Home for Tea Fair? i will most likely be going, and looking for booths selling YanCha

Hehehe, i haven't reach tht level of spending for tea yet... unfortunately i dun usually drink puerh or liu bao... mainly drink Yancha, so not much reason for me to buy tea in large quantities to keep/invest

wouldn't mind giving it a shot one day though... but since i dun drink those teas that are worth investing in, if tak naik harga, then i just end up with a load of tea for donation lol
