Pu-Erh- Purchasing advice
- Thread starter hkfrost
- Start date
08 Menghai 7532 & 08 Xiaguan FT "Exquisite Elegance" from Yunnan Sourcing or Steve's shop (JAS eTea). These two are my favorites, out of the small amount of puerh I've tried.
Have you tried many different pu'erhs? If not, I would consider ordering some samples from Netsurfr's store.
You got some good advice my friend. Contact Steve and get some samples.
hey, since most likely you'll be hooked the real nice stuff is over at nada cha. There is a good variety of older tea, and I think it's nice to know how good the tea can end up being after aging and careful storage. Just expand the range so you'll be aware of what's out there and what to look for.
A brick? I agree contact Steve. Can go with samples or there are those amongst us who believe a beeng (a brick) is a sample. If you follow Steve's advice, you won't go wrong.
Best is to try more before purchasing. Steve should be able to provide you with a range of samples sheng/ripe and those from different years so you'll get an idea
That'll keep you going for sometime! Everything you need to get right into it!
Missing a cha hai!
I'm sure its hidden somewhere in that pile.......
The sample collection is also missing "The Gathering of Heroes"...

To be honest Ive tried about 5 so far, yes I know im being wasteful but Im just excited to get in to it. I have to say so far they are all really good in their own way. They all seem to be very smooth so far as for favorites I would say 2007 Menghai "7262" ripe pu-erh. Some of the samples are earthy, one was smokey, some woodsy, some spicy, come are complex and deep. Honestly they are all great. I need more time sampling them 
Thanks for the kind words everyone. And, great pic there Ambrose!
I started out doing Group Buys for the great folks here on B&B and decided to start up a small business due to the encouragement of a number of the members (also because I am passionate about tea). Everyone on B&B gets a discount so contact me directly because my current site is not very smart. I will make sure you get the right price and only get charged the actual shipping charges.

I got as fine sampler from Netsurfr, too. I think one has to develop a taste for this type of tea....its quite different from any others I've tried.

Don't know where to buy a new brick but I have a very old one that sits on a carved oriental stand.
Would love to know about it.
This tea is very fine. There are no coarse leaves.
