Re: Show off your Pu!!!!!!!
This is my Drawer full of Pu. The clearish plastic bag is full of 80's Wang Zi, one of the little bags in the upper left has 60's Wang Zi in it, while the other has 90's Grand Yellow Mark. the bag in the lower left has 80's Daye loose leaf. The tin under the mostly broken up brick and the brick wrapped in paper, contains 90's tuo's. The three bricks all contain teas form 2003-2006, while the douji bricks are able to be seen in the bottom center. Then in the bottom right is the 2009 Nada Sheng sampler, (which you can't really see).
No cakes yet, but I think I'm going to place an order for some early next month.

Gorgeous stuff there, AdamMY and and Shogun.
Shogun, I would say it was worth waiting 3 weeks for a box of pu that big! That's enough that you'll be able to crumble it into a bowl, add milk and sugar, and eat pu for breakfast!

Haha, thats true, but how can I hide my biggest hobby? Not to mention I left a Art of Tea magazine out in the open:D Well, for the drinking I have mostly been drinking the 2008 CNNP Bulang and the Guoyan 66 as you can tell they have their sides missing. But every now and then I will take from another cake, I'm trying to keep damage minimal. Not to mention I usually make a pot last for a few days, so I will only go to the closet once or twice a week.

My girl has to live with my rather large tea chest in the living room. Not to mention the tea shelving in the kitchen. She doesn't seem to mind though.shogun89 wrote:
