Acquiring Aged Teas...

[entropyembrace]

Wow, the amount you 2 write is truly impressive. Anyway, aged tea is a little too expensive for me. I hate spending anything over $20 a cake, so that leaves me with young sheng, which is alright as I am quite contempt with young sheng.

I think buying dancong and wuyi oolongs has desensitized me on the cost of pu-erh...$20 for around 350g of tea seems like a great deal when the oolongs are $30+ for 100g...

$20usd for a beeng is just the begining - meaning standard. Their are much more expensive beengs and they don't have to be aged.

Oolong's can go a lot higher too.

Oh, I know.. 20g of first gen DHP sold for over 20KUSD But again this is highly unusual and only done 3 other times.

Here is an example of how much pu can cost - although there are much more expensive examples out there.

Hi sp1key,

Yeah.. you must have been missing out the hotspots. Most tea shops won't display their aged pu'erhs on the shelve. They usually keep it away from public eye and are normally kept for regular clients.

BTW, where are you from?

Cheers!
