Pu-reh advisor sort!!!!!
Hello, I 'm new to the world of Pu-reh teas, and I'm seeking somebody with a
resonable amount of knowledge to guide my initial steps via e-mail correspondence. I'm literally tea total, but have till very recently stuck to basically Assam, Darjeeling, English Breakfast and the occasional Gunpowder or Orange Pekoe. ( my current supplier is a certain Chelsea based shop). I recently tried a few different teas, and found the Pu-reh just palatable,(young and brand not recalled) but was attracted by its aging properties I already age cigars, and pipe tobacco's and get great enjoyment from the gradual development. I should like to add this tea to my ever growing stores. Is there anybody willing to take on a "pupil" on a one to one net basis. I'm a grumpy old man of 49 , proudly English and a wicked sense of humour. Ian |

I was just going to mention to you, without any malice, that Chinese tea is not as easy as it sounds. Its a distance from English Breakfast, a rather long and winding road perhaps. I am not sure what people say is the best way to discover tea, but I am not sure aged/ageing Pu-erh is the best option. Personally I started with reading a very novice book, which is brief and sometimes a little wrong but it has a purpose, this is "The Way of Tea" by Master Lam Kam Cheun (ISBN 1-85675-143-0). > I recently tried a few different teas, and found the Pu-reh just > palatable,(young and brand not recalled) but was attracted by its aging > properties It is really rather hard to get good tea in the UK, I know, if you want a real taste you should always try and order from China. Good luck! -- VL |
