Hong Kong-Roasted Three Stamp Shuixian

[Devoted135]

Thank you for being willing to do so much work with packing and shipping! I know it's a lot, and this Westerner is very grateful for the ability to try a tea I generally wouldn't have access to.

150g of Three Stamp left, and one tael of superior grade. That certainly went quick! Thanks everyone! Packing up all this tea is certainly going to be fun!

Is the "one tael of superior grade" still available? If yes, I'll like to take it. Or am I too late?

Thanks for the appreciation--it's monotonous packaging up tea, but kinda fun to work with much larger quantities than I'd buy for myself! The other day I saw about a bing's worth of Menghai shu swept up and thrown in the trash; dust from breaking up multiple tongs for sale as loose shu. They were amused by my surprise. Bet I see a lot of that kind of thing in Kunming next month!

Wei301 your tea is already on its way to you. I do still have the last tael of superior grade if you want it!

Great! Thanks. What is total incl. shipping to the UK?

[jayinhk]

Wei, $26.30 with shipping. I'd suggest taking some TGY or Dancong with it since shipping is only $2 more for every additional 50g!

I don't drink TGY. What type of Dancong are you offering? Where can I find the details?

Here's the dancong:

If you want more of the superior shuixian, you could wait until I get more; I expect it to be very popular!

Thanks for the link.
I'm not so interested in the Dancong without trying some sample first ...
I found most of them too light and floral ...

You described the Three Stamp Shuixian : "good quality milk chocolate".
How would you describe this "superior shuixian" ?

It's very similar to the Three Stamp, but more refined and smoother; less chocolate, but cleaner tasting. I wish I could describe it better than that!

Hi Jay, received the Three Stamp today and tried. It indeed has a bit "Milk Chocolate" smell and taste! Thank you!

37.8g is really tiny for the hassle and postage, so please cancel the superior shuixian for the moment. I'll wait until you get more!

Glad you received your Three Stamp safely! 37.8g is a classic HK measurement (16 taels to a 600g catty (jin)). The tea is prepacked into sealed pouches in this quantity, so it's easier to sell it preportioned than to repack it into larger bags. I agree that it's a lot of hassle and a high postage rate for such a small amount. I'll pick up more soon!

Hi Jay, would you be able to get more of the Three Stamp?

Yes, I still have 150g on hand. I take it you're enjoying it! It should perform even better after it rests for a week or two.

[jayinhk]

Sold my last 150g and last tael of superior grade, meaning I am now all out of shuixian, aside from the Three Stamp I have in my pewter caddy!

Picking up more of both SXs this week.

My warmest thanks for the teas, Jay. First pot in tomorrow
