Having a marvelous session with the loose Lao Ban Zhang spring 2009 sheng from Norbu. So tasty, so sweet, so wonderful, a special tea for a day when I need a good lift.

2011 Dayi Yiwu Raw

I tried it 2 days ago...
http://www.teachat.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... 75#p203998

Today I revisit it again. Taste is so much different. The soup is thicker. The aroma and taste is better and stronger. Good aftertaste. Not bitter. Not astringency. Lasted many brews. On the 8th brew, the flavor went down leaving only light sweetness in the tea that keeps on brewing.

My seniors were saying from their experience, when the tea just came out of the shipping container and newly opened. It is not accurate to drink immediately. The tea is 'sleeping'. Needs a few days to wake up. The first time I drank it, the teas was only out from the shipping container. So I guess seniors are right.

Look at the tea colour. It is the same as Gold Dayi. It looks like a 3 to 4 years old colour tea.



That said.. I couldn't resist again...

Cannot afford the big version... there is a mini version. Taobao price is MYR 200 (USD 72).

No kidding! The price quote I got is ￥１００($16). Usually taobao price will be no more than tea sold in a real store. Maybe you took the price for the set as price for each small cake?

Is it same as per this?

100g x 4

Oh my! It seems I misunderstood the whole thing. Now I guess the ￥100 quote I got was for 20g x 4 samples, no formal packaging. I said I "almost" wanted to buy it because I thought I would like to pay ￥80 for the packaging...

Someone I know got much lower price. Maybe some seller put a high price but sell for a lower one.
The way dayi sell this tea is rather odd. Some other teas I've seen (like the one from Liming) have sample sets showing up first in order to attract people, or at least sample and tea show up together. But sample sets of this one came later than the tea. Sellers can only brew the samples either to show people or let people taste in the store, because they can't afford breaking the big cakes either. So be hopeful

Yes, taobao price is hard to say. Sometimes too expensive, sometimes too cheap.

I think have to ask our tea seller to import this. Hope it is cheaper.

Oh my! auhckw, seeing your enthusiasm, I've been wondering if you would eventually buy the Dayi xin hai revolution (which seems to me a new peak of dayi's craziness)! I don't mean to infuse the idea into your mind... Maybe someday you can get some free drinking of it in a tea house and report to us about it

Have you seen their "tasting samples"? It's more affordable (I don't mean per unit price) and got a few more people buying it. But I hope you manage to get to taste it for free

Based on taobao, 4 box set cost about MYR 4500 (USD 1600)

I have not come across it here yet, but even if it does, I doubt with that price any tea shops will be generous to open it

Out of blatant curiosity, how much?

I think the official price is ￥1911 (about $300) for a 1911g cake. A set has 4 cakes. It's said that there are only 1911 sets made.
The packaging is indeed beautiful. I almost bought a sample size (20g each small cake, ￥１００ per set), but got a few Liming's 36g sample size bricks for free instead

[shah82]

about $1450 for the four bings.

I wished I could have the xin hai up at my wall, but the price is too extreme.
