New Pot
Posted on June 4th, 2008 by Justin and filed under Tea Related |
Went to the same tea shop at Bt Timah and met Eric and pals for some tea after missing out of action for a long while due to job. As I was about to leave, this pot caught my eyes and I immediately bought it without much hesitation. Feast your eyes on it.

Tea Review: In General
Posted on April 12th, 2008 by Justin and filed under Tea Review |
Have you notice the change in the taste of your favorite tea lately? As I have discovered, the taste of the 2 teas which I usually drank is not what it usually is. Taste felt “faded”. It might most probably be due to the change in the weather, with an increase in downpour. The high humidity could have altered the moisture level of the tea. Since tea is dried, it is very prone to absorbing the moisture from the air.

Tea Review: 41 yr old Pu Erh (Unknown Origin)
Posted on March 30th, 2008 by Justin and filed under Tea Review |
Bought some tea which is supposedly to be about 41yrs old of age at the moment. Since its origin is unclear I decided to post how the leaves look like. On opening the packing, one could smell the smoke something similar to the smoking barrier smell, but of course its many folds down. On examining the leaves, its not hard to notice the long leaves and stems. Most of the leaves are black but you could see there are some red ones. There are also many long stems.

Tea Making
Posted on March 21st, 2008 by Justin and filed under Tea Review |
I was having tea at the usual tea shop when an experienced old timer spoke about the tea thickness. I have been wondering about this myself and was glad he was thinking the same as me. The thickness of the tea preference voiced down to individual but however some tea should be made thick while some can be made thin. Why so you might ask.

Tea Shop
Posted on March 9th, 2008 by Justin and filed under Uncategorized |
This is the tea shop which I used to frequent occassionally on Saturadays together with some other tea drinkers like me. Lots of exchange about tea but discussions are not just about tea alone. Its a place where old friends gathered and strangers become friends. Hope to more tea drinkers will be able to join us there. Its located in Bt Timah Shopping Centre basement 1. Look for the Boss, his name is Eric. A friendly guy thats willing to share his knowledge. See you there.

Tea Review: De Hong Revisited
Posted on March 1st, 2008 by Justin and filed under Tea Review |
Having tried this tea the first time round and wasn’t really impressed by it, I turned to my friend who got the tea for me for assistance. I have been wondering what had they tasted in the tea but not me which got them so crazy about this tea. And I mean its not only them. Some others too are so drawn to this tea.

Tea Review: MengHai Yi Wu Zheng Shan Da Ye Cha
Posted on January 28th, 2008 by Justin and filed under Tea Review |
Chance by this good cooked tea and therefore decided to pick 2 pieces up. The golden soup of the makes looks really attractive. Yes I said golden soup. You might want to imagine to the boiling hot corn oil without the greasiness. I guessed many people would not think highly of an year old tea on top of the fact that its a cooked tea. But having tested the tea myself, it already gives me the confident it might turn out to be another Feng Qing or even better in time to come. The taste is already almost identical to Feng Qing already at this age. Therefore this gives me the confidence to bet on 2 pieces of this tea. The smoothness and easy to drink soup certainly leaves me asking for more during the testing. Hopefully in time to come, it would not disappoint me.

Tea Review: Liu Bao Cha (六宝茶 6 Treasures Tea)
Posted on January 20th, 2008 by Justin and filed under Tea Review |
As the name of the tea would suggest, it does taste a little like Ba Bao Cha ( 八宝茶 8 Treasures Tea). However, its certainly not tat sweet. A mellow and easy to drink concoction with a taste richer than Feng Qing. A good tea is hard to come by and this is the last of whats left in the shop which I frequent. I did not purchase it but however “traded” for it with some Kwang Yun Tie Bing. Review for Kwang Yun Tie Bing coming up in the next blog entry.
