Amazing raw puer! Any one can guess it's age?

by Jing » Nov 23rd, '12, 16:05

Share the pics of the aged puer tea I drink today. This is my first time to drink such an old raw puer tea in my past tea years.
It make me feel amazing and incredible.
It's weird, when I drinking this tea today, the taste and aroma make me feel a little bit sad, and my friend has the similar feeling with me...
Anyone can guess, how old it is? And any more guesses about it?

Ok now this is my type of tea. To me there is nothing better than a well-aged Sheng puerh with the liquor color being at least this dark. It seems somewhat difficult to tell exactly which type it is but based on the photos, it looks astoundingly similar to the 90's Yiwu Beeng I've grown very fond of lately. It seems to have some frost so I also assume its traditionally stored. I'd say something from between 1985-1995 with traditional storage but I could be wrong!

Impossible for me to know the particulars from the photos, but my guess is it's something that has been traditionally stored in GZ or HKG...hmmm...1980's?

There is a school of thought out there that when one prepares something, food, tea, art, etc., they can infuse part of themselves and their emotional state into the craft. So by this though, tea made with love will make you happy, but if the person making or preparing the tea was sad or some such emotion, it could pass on through the broth. Just an interesting school of thought I have encountered a few times.

Or, maybe, Boston is just really, really cold, and y'all were sad because the warm puerh reminded you of how far away spring is? :lol:

Agree, I also like this type of well-aged sheng puer tea... the liquid is very thick but feel like silk slide through the tongue and throat , melt in your mouth subtle and naturally and good body feeling. Actually, this one is Yiwu Shuang Qiang Hao in 1940s , it's loose tea... It's hard for me to describe the feeling of drinking this tea exactly, especially by my limited English :D ... It's my first try....

Actually, I used to drink tea with good mood and right moment, I know my emotion will affect tea taste. It's not fair for them. In my eyes, tea also have life, how you treat with them, how they ll feedback you.
This tea is really precious for me, not only because it's Yiwu Shuangqiang hao loose tea in 1940s, but also a beautiful gift with a story~ drink this kind of tea, it's not only drink the TEA, but drink the time, history and story... :lol: Boston is not that cold until now, but the spring will come back soon~~ :lol:

I have no idea about the rest, but I can tell you that that feeling (sorrow) is associated with Lung Qi and its mutual relationship with Spleen Qi (Spleen extracts Food Qi (aged puerh tea is very earthy and highly stimulates this organ) and sends it up to the Lungs where it combines with air to form Zong Qi (gathering Qi), which has numerous functions.

Anyway, puerh has just cleared some stagnant emotions in your lungs. This is good. :)
Thank you for providing me those information, I'm learning....
I think except the physical effect, also include some emotional feeling... Tea is great thing..
