Traditional TGY

[Space Samurai]

It's only Mu Zha Tie Guan Yin that still perpetuate the traditional method today

Not trying to be argumentative, but I don't think that statement is entirely accurate.

It was said by Taiwainese proffesor 姜育發 Jiang Yu Fa - one of 10 Chinese goverment appointed expert on Puerh. With numerous trying of Hong Bei done on a purely selected bush planted by Zhang Nei Miao brothers in Guang Xu period, Qing dynasty in a region of Mu Zha, was only able to continue the labor of effort making traditional TGY.

If you are not familiar with Jiang Yu Fa, his name already is the power in Chinese tea society and I don't think you can find any English speaker who's more authorized or knowledgible on Puerh and Taiwanese tea in general.

And of course you have your reason backed by sources.

Opinions? Thoughts?

This doesn't sound right to me, but I don't know all that much about TGY. What exactly are the defining characterstics of traditional TGY?

I moved this in here, because I really don't want to be argumentative, just curious.

Is it just me or are a lot of Chinese tea topics very focused on The How and when instead of the here and now?

He isn't really saying much... and in fact, I don't usually heed his words. Either his english is out of whack, or he talks like he knows more than he really does.

...his english is out of whack...

Dude, he's probably not a native speaker, get over it.

And neither is scruff, but we don't give him guff.

That's right. I speak BAMF-anese.
