Wow, so many tea drinkers. I have Earl Grey, English Breakfast, Chinese green tea (a few types, kept in the freezer), Ti Kuan Ying, and some Pu Er, which I bought for investment purpose and cheaper varieties for daily drinking. I generally consume more coffee (4 shots of espresso daily, with freshly roasted and freshly grind coffee beans) than tea (2x a week).

Give it about 6-8hrs and the effect should wear off.. The other way is to drink tea like Pu Er, and u can sleep at night and wont get gastric problem.

From what I was told, most of the better/best/investment grade Pu-erh tea leaves were bought by two parties in Penang. The have been hogging the tea leaves for many years. They initially went around Malaysia and China to accumulate Pu-erh leaves (the better grade ones) when ppl still dont really keen on Pu-erh. Then a year or two later, one taiwanese doctor wrote in article that Pu-erh is good for the heart, and ppl started to rush to buy Pu-erh. They made millions from the tea by selling them back to China. One guy bought a house just to stock his Pu-erh tea.. Most of the Pu-erh sold in the market now are not the very expensive grade.
According to Pu-erh sellers in China, Penang is the place to go if you want good grade Pu-erh.

What teapot do u use to drink your Pu-Er? Zi sha?

Where did you get your zi sha tea pot from? Teashop? I just bought one, a 'muo luni', not for drinking, more as shelf-decoration type. Thinking of buying one to use everyday.

Thanks. Probably wont go there as it's too far from my house. I dont reside in KL.

Did you get any teapot or tea leaves? I am trying to get a zisha teapot for my PuEr.

I was told there's going to be a teapot exhibition in KL this NOV. The theme is something like Old Teapots, before and during Republic Era. A lot of Ming and Ching old teapots going to be there.
