Today damn hardcore. Last round at Tacha i also confuse with taste already, can't really differentiate it. Conclusion it's a good outing not only tasted so many new tea but also bought some good tea and learn more knowledge from Tacha boss.

2008 Dayi High Mountain Raw

There is a reason why weighing devices are being invented. Lazy to take it out, therefore my estimation went wrong. Too much leaves. Very strong brew. Cannot take it on 3rd brew onwards.

Bad move not to use weigh, now you have wasted some tea. So when are you going to try again with proper weigh?

Added on February 21, 2011, 10:48 pmJust finish my QX 2004 Raw.

It's smoother than on Sunday where we try at QX kepong. Not sure if it's bcos i use teapot there they use gaiwan or bcos i'm full stomach when drink it. Can feel the after sweet taste but no as strong as i remember when i test 2003 Organic Cabbage . Well for this price i would say it's good.

Handling Procedure of Tetsubin - Hojo

During lunch, dropped by a tea shop near office with colleagues and we tasted 2009 LaoBanZhang mix with NewBanZhang 400g raw beeng - custom brand. Price for it is RM250 (USD80). It tasted so common. Not bitter. A little astringency. Not Sweet. Not smooth. Not much flavor. It gives the impression it is like any other pu. The taste does not justify the price at all.

Next was MengHai Red Dayi 2004 raw. Price for it is RM120 (USD38).

*Picture not mine.
My colleague bought 2 of it previously without trying, so we decided to try it. The colour of the brew was nice. Quite brownish. Not much flavor but gives sweetness. For the price it is, couldn't complain much for a 6 years+ tea. I would not buy cause it is nothing special, rather buy young tea if were to spend that money.

how strong is the sweetness?

The sweetness was quite ok, but not much flavor. You won't like it wan.

Wanted to brew this AAA TieGuanYin




And... Oops... I smashed the glass against the table with my hands holding it. It broke into pieces and dropped on the floor
