QUOTE(auhckw @ Jan 3 2011, 01:58 PM) For puerh a good start, you can read here forget liao. I actually like ripe puerh more, but the seller tell me raw puerh got more benefit compare to ripe one, so i get it lo. haha.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pu-erh_tea Puerh (Raw or Ripe) is an acquired taste to some people. Acquired means you have to get use to the taste after some time. The issue about puerh is there are fakes out there, so you have to be careful if it taste out of the usual. What puerh did you buy? Any photos?  I dint take any photos eh, even forget the name already, haah. now my tea pot spoilt, sad  |

QUOTE(auhckw @ Jan 4 2011, 11:02 AM) Very hard to say with the info you provided, but then it shouldn't taste like powder on how u mentioned earlier. hm....dont know eh. my puerh just doesnt taste nice, how isit not nice i also dont know, but got some powderish taste, also unlike how it was when i tried at the shop :SNote that puerh can absorb its outside smell quite well, so where you keep y our puerh is very important. Same goes with the container you are using. If you store your puerh in baby powder used container, chances it may taste like powder... hehe My friend last time put his puerh in a plastic bag, and after some time... the puerh taste like plastic when brew. i keep at a metal (isit metal? sorta thing) that the shop owner give it to me as he ask me to keep inside it wo.... maybe i shud go buy a ripe one and see, then take a pictar before open |

QUOTE(auhckw @ Jan 4 2011, 11:41 AM) Few possibility that can cause the difference: - storage shud not be a problem eh coz i brew it 1 day after i bought it. cannot be 1 day liao terus got problem rite?-the shop let you try something, and sell you something else -your storage -your brewing technique -your water / brewing teawares Normally people store in yixing clay canister and not metal cause puerh can breath more easily in clay. Not to say metal is wrong, just more ideal in clay for it to change / age. If you buy 1 piece, you can also opt to buy those small 1 piece cardboard box to store. Not so expensive. I like to keep them tidy and organized  Photo of the 1 piece box (RM1.5) and 1 toong box-can squeeze in 9 pieces (RM4)  brewing technique yea...i think thats definitely 1 of the cause coz i still new lol. I am using those er.....pour in hot water, then tekan liao it will flow down de, those plastic/glass type container. Unsure what's it called My water i just use normal water, those 20l litre tong that bought from those supplier.

QUOTE(auhckw @ Jan 8 2011, 09:50 PM) Nice... Do you intend to use it or put as a display item? i try to use it, but leak alot when pouring lol. i don't have those tea set that let water flow down yet, so maybe for now just for display purpose. |
