Just too bad. One less tea shop in Kepong.

Gossip: JDX plans to sell off his biz. RM10m including his 2 warehouse full of tea. 1 of the warehouse is owned, and 1 rent. Besides that, inclusive of his Tea Van (BKT) biz and transfer of knowledge on China market.

Found these photo album on a local tea shop who goes to China and press his puerh himself. Photos are interesting.

Tea business nowadays are not profitable enough to sustain the operational cost. Another tea shop I know also downsizing. Tea-Li also shutting down its branch and so I predict more will be closing down soon.
Only those shops that got aged tea and quality teapots will survive.

Hi auhckw, welcome back.
I'll visit the viva mall tonight, see if anything worth to buy.

According to Tea-li, they say bulk order has become very much less compared to the past few years. They have to downsize and start looking into supplying tea to restaurants.

I think it is logical. Past years buyers have been buying a lot. Now is their waiting time for their stock to age. Storage of theirs could have become limited.

Therefore, less buying = less sale = cannot sustain

Some has said that JDX itself couldn't really sustain on sale of their puerh tea (in the shop) alone. They have good sale on the tea van biz and also their hamper wrapping festive season.

Hello. I'm going in a short while more. Will get back with some updates.

Nowadays not many people will buy new tea and store them compare previously as it can't fetch good prices with the now depressed puer market. You can get a 2006 tea with the same price as the 2010 production. If I am the buyer I will get the 06 version.

If JDX is to close their shop business, I really hope they will have lelong sale

Just came back from visiting the Tea Expo





Damage for today...

Sea Dyke - Lao-Chung-Shui-Hsien (2008) x4


Sea Dyke - Ta-Hung-Pao (2009) x4


Sea Dyke - Ti Lo Han (2009) x 10

How much is Ti Lo Han?? Last time only RM7 from tea shop and no takers

Lao-Chung-Shui-Hsien - RM28.5

Ta-Hung-Pao - RM25

Ti Lo Han - RM13

Expo price is not really cheap for some shop. Eg. Yong Eng Siang booth chop head price to non regulars.

Expensive..I think just go there look see and drink.
