Looks like a very nice solid collection. Thanks for sharing!

Where did you get that bundle of mao cha up top and what do you think of it? I bought something similar from my local tea shop.

I got it from Tuochatea.com a couple of years ago. I think they're out of stock now, but they usually replenish with the new year's harvest. When I got it I purchased two 500 gram boxes. Curiously, it's advertised on the site as only 300 grams. I enjoy it quite a bit -- my other box of it is almost gone.

Drax,
The Pumidor looks really nice! Bob does nice work.
Chris

Agreed, thanks for leading the way and sharing info!

Boy, Drax, you are filling that cabinet up at a phenomenal rate. How long do you expect that quantity of tea will last you? You will be begging us to come take it off your hands 30 years from now!!

To Shogun too -- it would be a pleasure and an honor to be able to share tea with you all 30 years from now.

For heatwaves -- that's a sweet collection, and you've got that awesome gimp closet to store it in! Although I think perhaps "tea closet" has a much happier connotation

We should at some point get together in the future. It'll be easier though once I'm finished school though, LOL.

Drax, have you by any chance had some of your '08 Yunnian tea yet?

Seconded. How is the 8848 stuff?

I've read some mighty piss poor reviews of that tea.

[shogun89]

Interesting, I've read nothing but good reviews.

Here I was on a roll of greens this week. I guess green pu-erh can count, too?

I was actually going to try the CNNP 2008 tonight, but I went for the 8848 instead. I put up my review, but... this monkey's not giving away the punchline!

[shogun89]

Haha, cool monkey(s). Thanks Drax, Hit that CNNP tomorrow, I think you'll enjoy it. Its a little hard to brew though, so if you need help I'm around.

Here's one by a reasonably well spoken gentleman on the big site who was less than thrilled-

PU YEAH!

[devites]

That is wrong on so many levels . I don't think puerh is meant for single steeping teabags. That being said I am a little curious, is it available in the US?
