Neat, Auhckw!
I thought that XG had made the Bao Yan Jin Cha under the FT in at least 2008 as well, if not sooner. My 08 BYJC does have the FT pressed on it, so thats interesting.
cheers,
bryan

Xiaguan FT Tibetan Flame looks so different now-a-days, comparing to the early 90's

auckw - FT melon is a totally different grade then their mushroom. Mushroom is good for Tibetan Butter Tea.auhckw wrote:Thanks for the link.

Re: Show off your Pu!!!!!!!
If not mistaken, FT is a grade to symbolized better quality / export quality. The recipe can differ from one product to another.TIM wrote:auckw - FT melon is a totally different grade then their mushroom.

I heard about Tibetan Butter Tea, but from the sound of it, not nice to drink. Anyone tried it before? Mix butter with puerh tea?

The 2004 and 2006 were double wrapped, the 2005 isn't.gasninja wrote: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.
Where did you get this tea?
Re: Show off your Pu!!!!!!!
hi tim, how do those mushroom age over time? id imagine that it would take much longer than bricks and tuos? specially those in the center?TIM wrote:

2005 Liu Bao (Golden Award from Tea Expo) - This is one out of the forty blind tasting samples sent out to participants interested to try before the Expo. It eventually won the gold award after being voted by hundreds of tea drinkers. It is the only Liu Bao that won the gold award.
I was with a senior today, and he was saying he don't want to try/buy cause it will be just another Liubao and he has plenty (young and very old). Eventually we went to try. And we were suprised how good it is at the price. The taste is very good for a young liubao. Very warm feeling when drinking. Strong aroma and deep flavored. As it gets lighter from many infusions, it remains sweet. It gives a very longlasting overtaste.
The booth that is selling this is crowded with people and most of them are all praising it. Eventually we bought it
