I'm a visiting scholar in Harvard and a quasi-professional traditional
tea ceremony practicer. I'm trying to find the similar fancier in great
Boston.
my most favorite is yancha(Rock Tea), with Pu'er as second. I'm sure
I've the top yancha(huiwan shuixian, huiwan rougui, niulankeng
shuixian, niulankeng rougui, shuiliandong shuixian, tianxinyan rougui,
qizhong and so on) with me, but here I have only 10-years-old pu'er(the
years are definitely clear because it's the products of menghai tea
factory and they have date printed in the box, though the grade is not
very high), about-17-years-old 73's Thick Brick and a doubtful claimed
wege(Cultural Revolution ) tuo.
Green tea fans are aslo welcome. i've standard sample of grade S,1,2 of
Kaihua longding(still refrigerated ), as well as a small can of
Longjing and dongding oulong(sealed) which i seldom drink them and can
present to those who really like them.

Which school are you affiliated with, and where are you from?

I will be back in Boston in March for a few weeks.

Ah, I see. We just missed each other then, since I'm coming from where
you are to Beijing/Shanghai to do research this year.

Where do you get your yancha? From Beijing? Is there a store you go
to? I'm curious.

it sounds you know sth about me. ugh.
yes, i got them from several of my friends in beijing, xiamen and
wuyishan. i never go to the store though i know one good one. but one
of my friend told me she has sign a lease with the owner to purchase
all of his yancha in the future years so that she can monopolize this
man's high quality yancha which has been certificated by a tea master
and proved to be quite good by keeping a never-be-defeated record in
doucha(tea competition)

btw, don't drink too much new pu'er, it's definitely harmful to your
health. i've heard several cases in chinese tea forum and some
reseacher remind me too..

IMHO "it's (new pu'er) definitely harmful to your health" is not a very
responsible statement if all your support arguments are limited to "i've
heard several cases in chinese tea forum" and/or "some reseacher remind me
too." You have to quote some serious sources to substantiate such a
categorical statement. Calling yourself a Harvard scholar comes with certain
obligations.

BTW - I also would like to remind everyone here that almost all of the
information about benefits or perils of tea drinking is hearsay anyway,
since nobody can afford double blind medical trials on a non-patentable
natural product. That does not mean that we can or cannot believe them,
individually or as groups. But it does mean that a scientist should never
make statements like the one above.

Sasha.

Dear Sasha,
Thank you for your criticise. it remind me that I should express my
opinion more accurately, though i'm not a scientist of tea. or suggest
my friend in privite email while not in this group. Yes, I should say
maybe while not definitely. thanka again.

I knew the characters for Æ·ÖÖ but not the characters for µØÃû. I
asked because maybe someone else was missing different characters. In
this group, people speak fluent Chinese, and others like myself learn
as we go.

In another post:

"i'm not sure what you refer to, but in chinese offical tea
classification, Huang/yellow Tea is one of the six biggest categories,
the other is green, white, red, black and grey(qing, say, oulong,
tieguanyin,yancha)."

I am curious why you used 'say' for white. Normally it would be 'bai'.
Is there another character used for °×? We in the West would also
find it odd for another classification you call 'grey' or 'yancha'.
Yancha or Rock tea to me is just another oolong. One of my favorites
HuangJingGui.

Cowboy,
I think µØÃû (DiMing) is "Region name(s)" and is followed by the names of
regions.
Æ·ÖÖ (PinZhung) as you know is "variaety name(s)" and is followed by the
names of the teas.
The last phraze if I understand it right mean "the mentioned teas are all
autentic yancha(rock tea)"
However ZhenYan (ÕýÑÒ) as I understand can also mean a certain region in
WuYi mountain, so my translation would then read ..."autentic from ZhenYan".

Sasha.

yes, sasha'a explaination is right. thanks.
zhengyan, compared with banyan(half rock zone) and waishan(outer
mountains) or pingdi(flat plain), refers the core zone( and
traditionally only the rock tea in within this zone can be called rock
tea) of wuyi yancha.

well, here qing means grey and "say" is just "say" as in english. I
understand you are more familiar with the classification in which
yancha ibelongs to oolong(called as minbei(north of fujian) oolong),
while in chinese official category it's under the grey/qing tea along
with taiwan oolong, tieguanyin(minnan, south of fujian) and fenghuang
dancong.(guangdong) HuangJinGui is the name of some kind of dancong as
well. which kind of HuangJinGui do you like? yancha or dancong?

Sorry, I'm confused. Isn't Qing the word for "blue-green" here?
