  • Loose puerh

    Since I don't really have my full complement of teaware and I don't really have much tea here, consumption is going to be simple and limited until I get home to Hong Kong and ship the stuff over. One of the few things I…

  • Orange-in-orange 1996

    Until I get to Taiwan in about a week's time, you'll have to bear with me, suffering through more boring tea reviews :) Another old sample from last year, but not a newish tea. This is the Hou De 1996 Orange in orange…

  • Old puerh of some kind

    I had some of those wet stored, loose puerh so common in Hong Kong today. I'm no longer sure which particular one was the one I was having. I don't clearly label these, and they're not too easy to tell apart, as anybod…

  • Market fragmentation

    I went to Maliandao today, and saw my friend L who came up from Shanghai. I think he had some business to deal with. He did bring something good, supposedly, anyway. It's a sample of a Yellow Label from, ostensibly, t…

  • Mixing teas again

    Continuing my sample eradication, yesterday I drank the remaining piece of Zhongcha traditional character bing given to me by my friend YP in Hong Kong. A really clean, but unremarkable, piece of tea. It's about…

    My girlfriend arrived today, so I pulled out something a little different from the parade of young teas to drink. It's a loose puerh from Jabbok Tea House in Hong Kong, which I last blogged about here. The dry leaves…

  • The Curse of the Golden Flowers

    I had plans to drink another sample sent to me by iwii today. Among the stuff he sent me were a few pieces of a heavily wet stored tea. As most of you who regularly read my blog know, I'm a good Hong Kong boy and do no…

  • No tea today

    But fret not, I'm fixing the problem by making some loose puerh in a cup. On my way home here I was feeling the onset of a slightly dull headache, which, if unchecked, will turn into a rather unhappy headache in a few h…

  • Zhengshan

    More wet stored broken bits today This one is, curiously, called Zhengshan by the teashop that sold it to me. It's pretty cheap. It's obviously wet stored, in Hong Kong, and broken up a while ago. I don't really un…

  • Tea gathering

    Today I had two tea guests over, and together we drank four different teas. As is generally the case at these meetings, everybody has way more tea than we can possibly drink in one session, and we really only got to dri…
