QUOTE(vincentboleh @ Sep 13 2013, 08:25 PM) T#* L#* A* Ma Hei!!! So you read my mind too   ?Honestly, I'm one of those that think that being overly investment-minded in puerh terms does not bode well for end consumers. The factory and the middle-men wins. Factories throw out shitty tea and the herd go round buying them in droves. Pls leave some shitty tea for me too  |

QUOTE(codyt84 @ Oct 25 2013, 03:21 PM) have anyone tasted the latest Xiagaun tea called Gao Yuan Chen (高原陈）。saw it over the internet and wondering where can I get it and what the price will be.. codyt84 i can't help but to associate your nick to Cody from Lau Char / Lau Chan in Kepong. They are the official distributor of XG in KL at least. Have you find them? As long as it's nice tea, ppl will horde bcos they are quite some speculators/investors here.alternatively if u r brave enough to order online AND in KL/Selangor, we can share shipping http://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?id=27371988282. This vendor for me is reliable and I order from a forumer called cloud8313 in services board. |

Nice tea bought today:
   Doesn't particularly look like a 7 yr old tea but taste slightly sweet and very fluid. Can feel a lot of saliva production  . Not strong or astringent and very typical Lincang tea. Although this is labelled "da xue shan", it tastes far less intense than other smaller private "gu shu" garden. |

i've only ever drink a rm 10 10g da hong pao. bought it at da hong pao petaling street. i like the taste but some how the day after, i feel itchy on the throat and feel sickly. this is exactly the same when i tasted some sample 8 yr old liu an given to me by tea-li.
could be wrong weather/season to drink this. i remember back in feb, my brother gave me some good quality phoenix dan coong. liked it and had no problem. |

QUOTE(fatherhood @ Nov 15 2013, 10:53 PM) Quikstep, how does washing the tea leaves long got to do with it? I thought tea leaves contain a lot less caffein than coffee. I can take coffee even in the evening but not all chinese tea.. Anyway any recmmended raw pu erh? I thought of trying it out. Cheers QUOTE Aged Pu-Erh Teas are lower in caffeine than younger ones. Post-fermentation by ageing breaks down the caffeine which naturally diminishes the older a tea gets. Generally, Green Pu-Erh contains more caffeine than Black Pu-Erh as the Black varieties are subjected to additional processing which diminishes the caffeine which is water soluble. Source:http://www.thechineseteashop.com/puerhtea.html(Note: We use the term “Chinese Black Tea” as it is commonly used in the West to describe what are actually known in China as Red Teas. The true Chinese Black Teas as they are known in China are the post-fermented, aged teas such as Pu-Erh Tea). But there is a way to reduce the caffeine level of any tea if you are sensitive to it. Any tea is gong fu chabest made using the traditional Chinese method of tea-making known as Gong Fu Cha (Tea With Great Skill). This highly controlled method of tea-making is characterized by using small teapots and multiple brews with very short steeping times of just a few seconds. This intensifies the flavour of any tea and reduces the caffeine consumed compared to Western methods of tea-making. In Gong Fu Cha, the first brew is for washing the leaves and is poured away, so it is not consumed. This also has the effect of washing away much of the caffeine which is highly soluble in water. When I first read it, it's not from this source but it's very much along this line. It's very difficult to tell you what you like. Generally I do recommend 2 teas to my friends that are trying out tea; the Bing Dao and Ma Hei region. Both IMHO are "softer" and have good mouth feel. |
