Hey guys

The green tea season has kickstarted! Check out this interesting piece
of news in DIGG that came up last weekend, about a Chinese man who
pays $14,000 dollars for 200 grams of top grade Dragon Well tea made
by TEN frying kings!

I hope none of us is naive enough to think this isn't a marketing/
publicity gimmick.

I wonder how much this guy will be willing to put out for 200 grams of
the original Da hong pao. $14,000...that's quite a few silver
teapots...

Spammer.

I thought this was a marketing gimmick as well.

There was another news I came across that mention somebody pays a very
high price for the the first pick from the 18 tea imperial bushes of
Emperor Qian Long.

These 18 tea bushes are hundreds of years old, not producing any great
quantity of tea, and were given "yu" or imperial status when Emperor
Qian Long visited West Lake during one of his vacations.

Historically they are very important for West Lake Dragon Well tea.

I wonder if the same man has bought this tea. And if this tea was made
by the ten best fryers in the region, it naturally attracts a premium.

Just a thought - that part of China is full of rich people these days.

....two types of pu, and a partridge in a 100-year-old tea tree.
