ParticipantI do not quite understand why people buy this kind of tea cakes. One of my uncles serves this whenever we go there for dinner. It is so difficult just to get a crumb for making tea with. He always talks about how price goes up with my father and how expensive the tea we drink now, and raw cake and cooked cake and this mountain and that tree etc etc etc. I don’t think I even like the taste. The thing looks so dirty wrapped in the old rice paper and taken out so many times to be grabbed at forcefully and mutilated and put back there sitting in the shelf. 8-X

ParticipantI think they have it in Ming Cha, and very expensive. I think over 300 HKD.

ParticipantIt’s nice to have a home where you can put decorations here and there. Ours is always too crowded to do that. Maybe for that reason, I have never wanted to own any puer cakes, although many friends talked about the rise in price and all that.

Participant😡 What an answer! This explains a lot. Thank you!

ParticipantI think this really is a very interesting question, too. Adding lemon into tea is very different from drinking tea after eating lemon, that I can say because of a lot my own experience. Lemon tea is popular in my home Hong Kong, and I love eating lemon with skin just for the extreme taste excitement. I would not drink tea afterwards :-&

ParticipantI am so sorry, I did not know they would charge so much. As I said I have only bought from them in real stores, not internet shop. Too bad Leo’s internet shop is not selling this Lychee tea, because I know their delivery charge is very low. I hope you can find the tea eventually. BTW, I have not bought this tea since I discovered that some Phoenix oolongs have similar sweet fruity smell but natural and much better tasting tea liquid. For example, Milan Xiang that I bought from Leo’s shop. Perhaps you can give it a try too.

ParticipantI bought Lychee tea from them before, but from real shop not web shop, I think their web shop sells same product. Hope this help 😉

ParticipantYuen yeung is a must have item in the drink menu in all local tea cafes. My father likes it with condensed sweet milk. He said for the workers, this kind of drinks is a most vital refreshment for the day. I think it gives a lot of calories for the needed energy and enough caffeine to keep the mind awake in the morning or when it is almost the end of the work day (afternoon tea!). It is still a favourite for many many people, esp men who do labour work, drivers, builders and courier people etc, even those property salespeople too. Even some of my colleagues order it for afternoon tea too.
It is very strong and dense. I can see why it is liked by so many men. I think it is a very unique HK drink even though I do not like it myself. -
