What funny stuff is this. :)<br /><br /><br /> Dear Lainie,<br /><br /> Thanks for the compliment. Even bad teas teach us something though!<br /><br /><br />Toodlepip,<br /><br />HobbesHobbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10719619695211038389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-58607750457085919462009-04-14T06:06:00.000+01:002009-04-14T06:06:00.000+01:00What a horrid disappointment!

It was produced upon BIRTH of daughter of Mr. Chen and is supposed to age until her wedding (it means 15-30 years or something like that), so it probably should't be a 'drink me now' pu-erh.<BR/>But I agree with you, that this tea is not too good, I had better 2007 pu-erh from San Ho Tang and from other factories, too.Tuo Cha Teahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948259434826911982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753589427119541238.post-69737301558379716352009-04-12T12:45:00.000+01:002009-04-12T12:45:00.000+01:00Dear Laochagui, Thanks very much for the link - I...Dear Laochagui,<BR/><BR/> Thanks very much for the link - I've been reading through your back-posts and look forward to reading more.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Dear Salsero,<BR/><BR/> A compliment indeed from one as photographically talented as yourself! <BR/><BR/><BR/>Dear Tony,<BR/><BR/>I'm so gullible.
