Greetings,

Lam Kie Yuen Tea Co., Ltd, Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan, HK www.lyktea.com

Off to HK next week and found this retailer via web search. Would anybody
on the group living in or knowing HK have any experience with this retailer?
His product range appears extensive and price list appears to be reasonable
(to me as a newbie anyway). Obvioulsy can't assess the quality from the
web, hence my query. His product range and prices are listed on the order
form.

Cheers
Mal

Yes, while I personally have never visited their store I do know
several knowledgeable people who have and the store is reputable.

Fantastic. This is my first foray into a decent tea shop so the last thing
I wanted was to be treated just like 'another tourist' ! I'm particularly
looking for some very nice Wuyi oolong. I bought 8oz of Wuyi Yen Cha from
Singapore recently and find it very enjoyable. I am not certain how this one
rates amongst others but am looking forward to trying a few more.

It turns out to be <www.lkytea.com>. They've got a picture of a
Pu'erh cake, but no Pu'erh for sale. Can this be, or did I miss
something?

Click on "Miniatures." One of the four "miniatures" offered is "...our
famous Vintage Pu-Erh tea." At $80 for what looks like about two ounces of
tea (they don't specify) I think I'll pass on this one, no matter how
"famous" it is. I can also do without a $100 glass gaiwan.

The OP was asking about visiting the store where he could see, smell,
and taste the tea before buying. There is little risk there IMHO. I do
not recommend them as an online source though as they dont offer enough
information about their teas for me to be willing to buy sight unseen.

There online pricelist can be found at:
http://www.lkytea.com/mailorderform.xls
remember that it is in Hong Kong dollars!

Those are Hong Kong dollars (HKD), in USD that Gaiwan is actually less
than $13 and the "famous Vintage Pu-Erh" (whatever they mean by that)
is about $10. The pricelist I linked to above does indeed give the
quantity, the name, and the price (in HKD) alas not much other info.

On the price list they list Pu-erh Tea from 15 years up to 30 - I assume
this is loose leaf. They also list 3 grades of cake ranging from $HK200 to
$HK800. Appears to be their own LKY branded cakes -so could be anything.

Concur though, the glass Gaiwan at $HK100 ($A17 approx) looks a little
steep. Unless of course it's hand blown lead crystal of course ;-)

According to the Discover Hong Kong website it looks like they offer a 10%
discount (assume that's to tourists). Mind you, one would need to spend a
bit to make that worth while.

Anyway will be able to report back in a couple of weeks.

I've visited their store and bought a cake of the cheapest puerh they
sell under their own label. It's a 2006 cake. Not bad.

I can't remember how old the other two are. I think the medium priced
one is 2004, and the oldest one is something like 8-10 years old. You
can ask to taste before buying anyone of them. The proprietor is an 80
year old gentleman.

The puerh they're referring there should be loose. I didn't try those.

You should also think of visiting the Best Tea House, which is not
cheap, but has a good selection. They have a new store in Tsim Sha
Tsui (reopened after the previous location in TST closed). Free
pouring there as well. The store is on Peking Road.

LKY is definitely cheaper.

Good luck! There is a lot of good tea in HK.

"Best Teahouse" is extremely well known and highly recommended by
anyone who has ever been there. They are also associated with with one
of the best Tea Shops in NYC. If your quest is for the high end you
should follow MarshalN's lead.

[Kevin]
well, those are not "anything". from the name it looks like the HKD800
cake is the "famous" '97 Lao Shu Yuan Sha made for them by Menghai Tea
Factory. It's the cake pictured on that page:
http://www.lkytea.com/engindex.php

Better to ask by email though if you're interested, maybe they have
another lao shu cake I don't know about.....

If association means anything, I wholeheartedly
concur with Mike here. The tea shop in New York
City, The Tea Gallery, is by far the best I know
here. It's a place to buy excellent tea, excellent
teaware, and spend time in excellent company. I
imagine the Best Teahouse in HK is also wonderous.
Have fun!
Michael

It's quite nice. I go there all the time. Tea Gallery get some of
their stuff from BTH, others they have alternative sources, I believe

Thanks Marshall for the heads up. Yes I know Peking Road in TST, will now
definitely look it up.

Well, if you know Peking Road.... it's on the side of Nathan Road where
the Peninsula is (and where the Hyatt used to be). In fact, the store
location (as I was told -- since I left HK before they were done
renovating) is where the exit ramp for the Hyatt faced. Basically, if
you turn in from Nathan Road, it's no more than half a block from
Nathan Road on your left hand side, I think.

Mal of Oz,

You can find the pu'er cake mentioned by MarshalN on my blog
http://teemann.blogspot.com, under the Nov. 2005 archives.

If you are looking for good quality Yan Cha, you might want to follow
MarshalN's lead and head straight to Best Teahouse instead. I have tried
oolongs and pu'ers from several shops in Hongkong, and for me, I prefer the
Yan Cha offered by The Best Teahouse. If you can tell me where you bought
your Yan Cha in Singapore, I might be able to provide you a rought indicator
which shop to go to in Hongkong to hopefully match your tastebuds.

You mentioned that Lam Kie Yuen has 3 cakes under its name, that would be
probably be the 2002, 2004 and 2006 'house brand' pu'ers. They are good
stuff, but a little humid-stored. Ask to try the 1997 cake, that would give
you a benchmark of what humid storage Hongkong pu'er is like, then ask to
try the rest, and settle for what you prefer.

The Best Teahouse also has several good pu'ers, the famous one being the
(thereabout) 1988 Menghai raw pu'er code 7542. This cake by now would be
commanding a ridiculous price. The one I also like is the Zhen Chun Ya Hao -
pricey as well, but cheaper than the 88 cake. Of the mid-range Yan Cha, the
Drunken Concubine, Zui Gui Fei, is my constant favourite. www.besttea.com.hk

Yup, know it mate, I think theres a Delaneys Irish pub in the same street.

Danny,
Printed and added to my shopping list.

Thanks.

Somewhere here some wires have got crossed - didn't buy any (drinkable)
pu-er in Singers, just some Butterfly branded Wu-i Yen Cha Oolong - which I
found to be very drinkable for what I paid for it - about $US20 for 150gms.
Was from Yue Hwa in China Town. I also bought my first compressed brick -
cost me $2.50! You can brew the beejezzus out of it and it still comes out
dark red !!

What would you call a ridiculous price for the 7542??- I don't have a
benchmark to compare.

This is my first trip to HK looking for tea so I want to come back with a
few teas that I know to be decent to use as a foundation to compare teas
that I buy online when I get back.

Cheers
Mal

I would suggest the HMV if you are into music and CDs, the selection there
is great and so much cheaper than Australia! If you have the time, hit
Nathan Road and walk the straight road upward towards Yau Ma Tei there are
lots of old tea shops there you can venture into...

Hi Mal,

OK shan't talk about the compressed brick... :")

You will find a much larger Yu Hwa on Central (or is it Queens...I need to
go back there for shopping soon before I forget the streets and locations!)
on Hongkong island.

7542 can range from the very cheap to the ridiculously expensive, depending
on what you are looking for. A late 80s 7542 would be in the range of
HK$2000-3000, while the later productions, especially in the last 5 years,
can be between HK$100 - 400...but do try the tea before you plonk down the
cash!

Almost forgot, along Hankow street opposite HMV there's a teashop called
Ying Kee.

I find their offering mediocre, but you might find some yan cha you like
there. Try the Look Onn tea, they have several varieties with flavourings,
which are interesting.

yeah there is a large one in Central and another one up Nathan Road in
Jordon.
(mind you the wife gets a bit queezy at that one with the snake wine in the
window!) But IIRC, I think the Central one had more tea to offer

Ooh yeah, i'm prepared to go for somewhere in the middle, but I have to like
it before I plonk down any sort of cash. If I come home with some nasty tea
and the missus misses out on her Gucci handband , my name will be mud.

Anyway must go, wife is eager to start packing ! ..we don't leave till
Monday :-((

Ying Kee is quite mediocre. I wouldn't go there.

Any of the vendors on Bonham street will beat Ying kee in what they
offer, I think, and at lower cost.

Best Tea House is expensive, but good selection.
