I actually appreciate your chanmel has remained with a small following, makes me feel like im in early on something ; )

[@SerpenTRyder]

I usually don't bother, it's a niche of a niche 😂

[@TeaDB]

Thanks! Yeah this ones for the ones that go deep :).

[@littlewigglemonster7691]

Excellent explanations

[@TeaDB]

Thank you!

[@Lukas-g3q]

It would have been interesting to also look into the changes in quality due to the increase in quantity but maybe that's another topic. Thanks James!

[@TeaDB]

@@Lukas-g3q a lot more complicated unfortunately with quite a few more subjective elements.

Really good point! I look at puerh price in relation to wine. If there's a tea someone (tea snobs like myself) really likes, they'll go searching for it and will pay more to a collector if it isn't available from the producer/vendor. There's a few teas that once they're gone, they're gone. W2Tea's "Must Be" & Farmer Leaf's 2022 "Gulan" are top of mind for me. Teas like Jin Xuan, gyokuro, etc. will always be available, but are better fresh; imo. I'm seriously considering buying a tong of aged puerh from Yunnan Sourcing just because I don't want to go thru the hassle of finding a new favorite aged puerh once that one is sold out

[@TeaDB]

Tea and Pu'erh compared to most beverages compare quite well price wise :).

I tried my first raw and ripe today. 15 year aged golden melon and 2019 Heng Tong Hao honey aroma. My only question is my upper throat supposed to feel warm after drinking the raw??? Warmth happened about 10 minutes after my session.

[@TeaDB]

Haven't had those, but yes it is possible.
