Last time after seeing your post, I checked out the store immediatelyHerb_Master wrote: I checked the invoice - it has Summer 2008 writ large on both teas - I feel I am going to have to order the Autumn versions - I can still send you some Summer if you want to try them!
And back then they had summer TGY only. Now they have autumn tea.That´s one of the coolest things on Teachat, good reviews.Salsero wrote:Alea iacta est.Herb_Master wrote:The deed is done - I have ordered
I suppose now we will all be ordering from Wan Ling in a couple weeks!
You mean they have an unlisted one that is even better? Cool.engar wrote: another different (higher quality) TGY
The King grade is the one that was unlisted, but now is listed as is the highest grade offered now.engar wrote:Yes, I´m sure they will be more than happy to answer all your questions.Salsero wrote:You mean they have an unlisted one that is even better?

Its about a week now since i've ordered mine, still waiting on it. I plan on trying it as soon as I get it!gingko wrote:My TGY from rich barbarian has arrived! I don't remember when I ordered it, but definitely within 1 week. That's super fast and great for $4 shipping charge!
My tea activities have ended for today, will try it tomorrow
Wow, a Kingly price too!PolyhymnianMuse wrote:

I see the packaging for the King Grade is labelled as "yun xiang xing"PolyhymnianMuse wrote: The King grade is the one that was unlisted, but now is listed as is the highest grade offered now.
I wouldnt read into that too much, however theres always a chance your correct. From what I was told the packaging of the individual 10g bags are done by the owner of the ebay store himself, rather then the tea supplier. They could very well be just generic bagsHerb_Master wrote:I see the packaging for the King Grade is labelled as "yun xiang xing"PolyhymnianMuse wrote: The King grade is the one that was unlisted, but now is listed as is the highest grade offered now.
I thought this might provide the answer - but not really

does the yun refer to the special 'rock rhyme' found only in Yan Cha and TKY ? [yan yun OR yin yun]
the 'xiang' would be fragrance - hence "Rock Fragrance"
but if Xing is shape ! mmm
does anyone have an explanation?
I think you guys' orders will arrive soon too. Hong Kong has direct flight to many major cities in the world, so a lot of time is saved from surface transportation. My order is small and simple, so probably easier to put together. Besides, Herb Master, 2 weeks ago was still within Chinese new year range, and the postal company might not function at all, so probably your order and my order left Hong Kong about the same timeHerb_Master wrote: Interesting that some arrive in 5 days! My Summer Tea was that quick, but my Autumn order is 2 weeks and counting!
Another fine theory bites the dust - a few people suggested that King, Wang and Supreme were used by different vendors to describe the top grade tea. Here Rich Barbarian uses 3 Names that price wise show that King is far superior to Supreme and Supreme+
I think they told me that their tea supplier is their family garden in mainland China.PolyhymnianMuse wrote:I wouldnt read into that too much, however theres always a chance your correct.

Thats what i've been told too, I'm not sure if its directly part of the family or just someone they know who owns a farm though. What I'm getting at is that the individual bags of 10g are not produced by the farmer themselves and then sold, but the tea is sold in bulk from the farm and then they are made into the individual bags by the vendor before selling.engar wrote:I think they told me that their tea supplier is their family garden in mainland China.PolyhymnianMuse wrote:I wouldnt read into that too much, however theres always a chance your correct.
