TeaChat

I have been to his website and sent a couple emails to both his address and other sites that sell his puerh but have been unable to get a response. Is he no longer actively selling puerh or does it just take a long time to respond? Has anyone bought tea from him recently?

Best Tea House in HK sells his stuff. Their website is a bit out of date, but here is the contact info page.

So, if you are drinking a true 88 Qing bing and under that price... What are you really drinking? Best Tea House created the 88.

It's $200 for ten grams.

Hi

I have never ordered via internet from them. They have a store in Vancouver too, so you might want to contact them. Though I have not mail ordered from them, I asked while I was in the shop if they did mail order and they do.

Here is a pic of a box of tea I got there, not too cheap @ 390 HK$ for 100 grams. ($50 US). It was chunks of broken up cakes and perhaps some loose tea. I think the multi-sources of the tea made the flovor profile far more complex than if it was a single tea. Everything from a perfumed tasted to black tea. Good, but not have to lay down for a while after drinking it good.

OK. Now we know how much of a gift Huang was giving us on Jan. 1, 2013!

Either Something that Best Tea House sold to another vendor in the early 00s when they sold the majority of there inventory of the 88qing bing, or an imitation.

This shop was carrying some of his collected tea as well as his own productions in Mainland China, but these days, there's not much there.

What makes you think he was "actively selling puerh", and is there something specific you're looking for?

You can get his own productions via certain vendors. Based on descriptions and photos, as well as the fact that they were selling his cakes, it's also possible (just a guess) that Lau Yu Fat in HK was selling some of his teas that he collected. While I have heard of him selling tea, so I don't think it's something that he's completely beyond, I don't think he's really interested in selling tea directly unless there are fairly large amounts of money involved.

He was selling his own branded puerh off of this website. I haven't been able to reach cloud directly for months though. I'll have to contact some of the other shops listed in this thread and see if they are selling any of his cakes.

Someone sell this yearly on HK Tea Forum.

As you have guessed, price increases yearly and I don't think much use here unless you are in HK, it's rather difficult to get one!

It could be 89 Qing. Or even 92 Qing.

Cloud the man suggests there some subtle difference.

89 Qing been through more humid storage, 88 Qing is pure dry storage. What ever all this means?

I need magnifying glass ....

Someone told me Lau Yu Fat sold out all Cloud's tea after Hobbes wrote a blog on Half-dipper about it last year.

I was there a few months ago, and I'm sure there was some left. Which tea are you talking about?
