Hey,
thanks for the quick feedback, thats great!
Its no problem, take your time… in the meantime, we’ll drink your Oolongs instead 🙂Hi Siu,
well that couldn’t be better! Suggesting something and learning then that is already planned – I swear I didn’t listen in though 😀I’m especially happy about the new Pus, I really love the clean character of those you offer already… its obvious that you are very critical in your selection, which is not common for sellers who do maintain affordable pricing this is good news!
Also, please don’t worry about the delay – that just happens sometimes with the customs, I already had that taken into account. They gave guy who stood in the row before me a hard time because his package was labelled incorrectly – since mine was labelled perfectly, I left there not two minutes later – good work 🙂 🙂 🙂
Hi,
just picked up my first order from teahong.com after it spend three long weeks at the customs, god knows why. But to be honest, I did have some tee left here, so no problem 🙂
Looked really good, shopping was a pleasure due to the unique style of the shop. Even though, I got three little hints:– Some more information about the teas would be really great. Of course I understand that TH needs to protect its sources, and its also and advantage not to be overwhelmed with information. Still, to get some more details would be appreciated at least by me: where ist the tea from, how old were the trees, any special things in processing… you know 🙂
– A larger packing size would be great also.. I really like the one tea I tried yet, and I’d like to buy like 100 or 200g of it and set it aside for some years.. thats not urgent, just an idea.
– I get that you have a really special take on Pu’Er, and thats fine 🙂 Shopping Pu would be easier if some other vendors were a bit pickier also 😀 Would be great if you provided some more high quality Pu’Er though.Don’t get me wrong please, I love the shop as it is, just thought I’d give you some feedback on what crossed my mind during shopping.
Yes, I totally agree!
They can have a very charming aroma but are tough on the stomach.
Even though, I must say, with very old trees tea, the effect is less bad, although still present, and with very young plantation Sheng, thats almost undrinkable for me.
Anyhow, if they’re having at least some wet-stored time, I can palate them much better if they’re about 6 or 7 years old, which is still quite young imho.
But the 0-3 years old tees are really something I can’t drink on a daily basis.Also, in general I’d say that most Pu’Er have a lot of power and they can be more intoxicating and imbalancing than high quality oolongs, which is why I look out to not drink them too often. Yet I love them 🙂
Hi.. my main experience with Shengcha is that the very young ones (younger than five years) are something I can’t drink very often.. maybe once a week, since they’re very strong and very cool (similar situation with japanese greens and neon-green tie guan yin for example, Leo will say its because of the TCM cold nature of them – and I believe him, I just don’t know anything about TCM and thus I’m careful about using these terms).
If they are high-quality “boutique teas”, then the situation is better, still they are a lot more tougher than most oolongs and thats why I’m not drinking them often. They can be quite nice though and especially the Gu Shu (from old trees) teas can be worth it for me.
If they are a bit older, like 7-10 years, there is nice stuff there and they’re not so tough on the stomach anymore either… but lots of doubts about the conditions of production there.
Anything older is mostly out of my reach financially and thus I only had samples of these.
And for the pricing… I think that its mostly a speculation issue – pricing on the Pu’Er market is somewhat erratic, with great jumps and there was a big bubble some years ago.
