Show off your Pu!!!!!!!

Yeah, the Bangwai was my favorite of the three 2010's that I tried.

Not sure which I'm going to dig into...probably the 2011 Nannuo or Bulang. I want to sit on the Mannuo a bit.

So you like Jingmai taste.

I can understand why you want to sit on the Mannuo a bit.

Wow Auhckw!

That's quite a haul you're accumulating! I wish I had just half of the availability to try those teas!

[the_skua]

So you like Jingmai taste.

I like lots of different tastes, I gravitate towards what I see as good tea, not just particular regions.

A gift from a SG friend. Thank you if you are reading this

Btw, can someone translate what it says on it's cover?

auhckw, I think you put it upside down (ha ha, just kidding!).

o.k., no one seem answering this, don't blame me if I got it completely wrong!

Here we go:
Front
Yunnan Jia Ji (Grade A)

ChengXiang (old tea fragrance) old tea brick

Net weight 250g Jingmai Gushu (ancient tree) tea

CNNP

Back
Puerh Germ

Year 2000 old tea

colour: deep red brown taste: cheng xiang (old tea fragrance)

=======================

If I were you, I would take all these a pinch of salt.

p.s. Chinese is 'easy', you look at the symbols (or pictures) and you can guess their meanings, what more there is no such annoying thing called grammar!

Thanks for the translations. I used to go chinese tuition when I was in my primary schoold day, but I have lost that part of memory. Able to speak, but barely able to read. From the picture, I am able to read without guessing 9 words only

All you need now is just to learn one tea related character per day, it wouldn't take you very long to be able to read all the tea wrapper.

Thats my favorite inexpensive shu brick I got a couple of them( actually the first shu that I bought multiples of). Very sweet taste. For anyone interested pu-erhtea.com sells them as the 2000 Excellent taste Brick for 15.95 usd

I seem to remember this cake being double-wrapped, you sure you have the real thing? There were some fakes in Malaysia

[gasninja]

the 2006 gushu which is next to it in the pic is double wrapped but the 2005 YiWu isn't. If its a fake Its a really tasty one.

I know the owner of the factory. He is pretty cool. His teas are exceptional and very pricey! Not every one has double wrapping. I like his bricks better than his cakes. Great tea. Enjoy it.

[shah82]

Are you talking about the '99 bricks? I've been to his page, and I don't remember anything but cakes and tuos among his personally picked tea.

That dude was one of the early tea nerds. There's a set of photos @ HouDe somewhere where he just kinda geeks out, clothes included. Has he done anything other than older warehoused maocha since '07?

[auhckw]

Bought this :-

Dayi Spring of Menghai 2011 Raw







Edit: I cheated.. I only bought 9 pieces not 2 cartons

[IPT]

I meant I know the owner of Yang Qing Hao. He has some really spectacular teas in his collection! His tea is hard to find in the market, but really excellent.
