auhckw,

Admire u could have both 孟臣款壶zhuni and jingboni which i also like their colur very much, but just couldnt force out the money to buy it...

Dear Chua,
If thea tea u tested fro 3diff yrs still give same problem, most probably that's due to the processing method to produce the tea.

upcar,
SS2 Shop call tao ran ju if not mistaken, they have a booth there too. they r selling most of the tea at rm55/100g if not mistaken.

anybody know which shop/booth selling good red tea?

Thanks cuebiz.

Tested xiang gen red tea last week, ok ok only.

I heard the pot maker only around at 1st 2-3days and not so professional when on show, the jewel around teh whole hand and finger.....

RM3K/Kg = RM300/100g=RM150/50g boleh tahan if really good as u r not going to buy 1kg right?

Tache long jin is rm290/50g, hojo high grade japanense tea also higher price than this.

at kepong, if look fro raw old tree pu erh then Tacha.
look for cheap so so quality tea, pot and etc then long run.

u mean teapot or tea pet?

if tea pet gu yi zai the curve got but price ok ok only. there is another old shop near selayang which is cheaper but less choice...

if japanes green tea then can try Hojo at the Garden beside Mid Valley.

if chinese green tea, The curve, Legend of tea (gu yi chai)'s bi luo chun seems not bad...

if u r afford to pay expensive price and want something really good then try Long Jin in Tacha,Kepong...~rm290/50g...i like it very much but can't afford to buy...

If u all wish to know how different chinse made zisha pot will bring out the tea, then go tacha kepong, u can ask the boss to try n test out there, can also try their tea. Their raw pu erh is worth trying better than hojo in my opinion for the similar price product.

haha...had to admit that...

surprise to know that...by right shall be cheaper buying there...

Is this tea is in whole piece of leaf form or still in blended leaf form?

Those people treat it as investment not a daily use pot, i remember 1 of the owner told me last time. He said it is better than invest a house/apt as the price rise faster and do not need a lot of paper work, not need through lawyer, no need to pay tax of selling and so on and can be liquidize faster tahn a permanent property like real estate...

If not mistaken his pot ~10yrs ago price~20-30k...

Anyway that only apply to the pot which is catergorize as "art"...now a lot "technical/skillful pot" but sell as "art" which not worth the price..

Zhang Zheng Zhong is now consider as State Master level of pot maker...so potentially to be the national level Master.

u r right too but market will decide the value.

Gu jing Zhou (pass away)'s pot sell at >RM8million.

Those smart real artist will control their no. of pot make. Besides, their energy level,concerntration will drop by age thus the product quality will drop.
If not mistaken he make <3pots/month now.
so the highest price pot of the artist may not be the latest pot he made but the best pot hemade during his best performance.

example: Ge tao zhong's pot now is not selling as high as his pot made in 90s when he is at his best performance.

those who buy the pot had actually book the pot> 1years ago.

anyway there are some so call national master is hired people to make for them n sell it as well...so must be very care on selecting the artist for investment.

in china zisha world now, the pot maker is increasing their price every 3-4 months.

example zhang zheng zhong's student wang qiang-- his ppot price in 2010~10k...now can go up to 40k. his student's pot in 2010 sell at ~1k now is 2.8-3.5k.
So it is up to individual to judge....

RM50/50g consider cheap for long jin since now is off season, thus long jin at this month shld be cheap n of lower quality.

Best longjin shld be the several day b4 cheng bing. (Ming qian long jin)- most of it sell at >rm200/50g

if u r malaysian n stay in kl, when 2013 new arrive long jin come (~apr-may) try it in tacha (FOC) then u will have idea wht a good long jin suppose to be. it shall have a bit of soya aroma...

japanese high grade tea more to sea weed aroma...

ripe pu erh - human fermentation - a modern way since 1970s try to achieve the taste of vintage raw pu erh.

raw pu erh- natural fermentation by age...

raw pu er is still raw pu erh even store for 100yrs, it will not become ripe puerh.

Agreed. and the tea not cheap!

i'm more lucky, a friend just get me some sample from the shop, they r selling at ~rm12/pcs....but the taste..really cannot lah... i rather buy pure flower then mix with the tea by myself if really 12 do that...

HA..ha...

mix flower of kekwa, rose, apple flower also not bad...
i use the red zisha to brew the flower tea as well, water smoother n the flower will give out the taste faster.

i'm using single hole version pot, so ok for that.
