1960-s Guang Yun Beeng
I haven't tried this tea yet, but the description is a little misleading. When it is said that this cake can make 75 servings, what they really mean is that you can have 75 "Gong-fu" sessions with this tea. This type of Chinese tea is typically put into very small Yixing teapots (approx 5-7gr of tea into a 110-120 ml teapot), rinsed once or twice (probably once for this expensive tea), and then poured into teacups. A very high-quality Puerh (aged "raw", not aged "cooked") can make anywhere from 5-10 teapots-full of the tea before running out of leaf. Sometimes even more. Usually the desired effect of these very-old teas is not exactly how they taste, because often-times they won't taste like much more than flavored water, but instead the "Cha-Chi", which is a type of energy or feeling that your body feels when/after drinking these teas. The feelings can be anything from quite stimulating, to very soothing (almost narcotic). There are many fakes in the market-place, due to...
WOW, what a deal!
Where else can you save $300.00 on tea? Who can pass up a bargain like that? If only I had $1200.00 to blow on tea. Dang! This gets five stars, I says.
