Perhaps not a likely scenario, but highly tempting. I would certainly consider a trip to Malaysia if enough people wanted to pay my "Tasting expenses."
Correct! Or, you know, for people who are already *in* Malaysia... *cough cough*

So hey, if you're in Malaysia, and are near this place, maybe you can charge a "tasting fee" for people to go test some teas and help people decide from there? Sort of like a sommelier...
No one will pay for tea tasting. It customary that teashops offer you to sample their tea with compliments from the house. In Malaysia, we are allowed to sample any tea that is offered on sale on the shelves at no charge.

If you're serious about buying some cakes from Skip4tea, oldmanteapot may be able to help you. He came to my place last night and we drank some Puerh. He told me he was going to KL soon and was intending to go to Skip4tea to check them out. I would trust oldmanteapot's comments on Puerh. He's been drinking it his whole life.
