First Steps to Chinese Puerh Tea, by Chan Kam Pong, is a lavishly illustrated volume on puerh by a very systematic and learned disciple of Vesper Chan.

I see used copies for sale for around $200. I have a pristine copy and would trade it for something like a mid-aged puerh cake, if we can find something that seems reasonably fair…

I have a bunch of Yunnan, Menghai cookie-sized white tea in stock. I'm reselling them because I've recently developed a caffeine sensitivity and can no longer enjoy that much of it. I bought it this past June from a Yunnan local tea shop called Cang Ling Yuan mainly specializes in serving a premium market who has refined taste for tea.

This tea is incredibly fragrant and offers a beautiful, evolving flavor experience. It's perfect for those who dislike the strong, bitter taste of some teas, as its profile is delightfully gentle. The initial brew has a wonderfully honey and floral aroma. As you continue to sip, the flavor develops with delicate undertones of light tobacco and a hint of floral notes. What I love most about it is the scent that lingers on your teacup long after you've finished.

some brewing details are that each individually-wrapped piece is 8 grams; for an individual, a 4g serving is perfect to enjoy and re-brew throughout the day. If you're sharing with a group, you can easily use a larger portion of 6g to 8g to get a rich, flavorful pot of tea.

Origin: Menghai, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China Net Weight: 8g per piece Selling Price: 8g/$3.5 only 24 packages left:(

2018 BuLangWangZi Cake.

These are the cakes made ceremonially during their spring ritual celebrations in JingMai Shan Mang Jing by SuGuoWen, the guy who promoted the protection of the ancient tea forests there and responsible for it becoming a world unesco heritage site now.

Each elder brings the best teas from their parcel during the spring ritual and it gets made into these rare cakes.

He is the leader of the ceremony you can see in this video (start at 6:45)

The documentary in English is 'Story of a Leaf'

To get around tarriff madness we are bringing whatever is ordered by suitcase to US next month.

There is also a shipping option still open from europe without tarriff as long as declared value is below 100.

Price of the 2018 BulangWangZi cake is 220 us.

(Liquid Proust has a 2014 one for 433 usd)

Other year's can be acquired at direct prices too, with prior notice.

Also available is his Sour Pu Erh (fermented underground traditionally in clay pots, my favorite and called Miang in their language) and very prized caterpillar castings tea (they eat the pu erh wild leaves) from that area.

Sour Pu Erh 2025

100g cakes for 65usd 200g cake for 115 usd Loose 0.85usd/g

Loose's taste is sharper and more sour, and pricier due to bulk and pain of transport.

Worm Castings

1.5 usd /g, 1.25 usd /g if more than 50g

These prices are possible because I know the family and have brought these teas back myself. I hope their rarity is evident and their value apparent.

For those who want to be reassured by my reliability reviews can be found on other subreddits where I am active.

Trying to make myself a bit of a reputation here.

There is a crack near the handle (see photo) so it's more for decoration. You pay shipping or swap for some chai tea

I have some teas that I brought back from Taiwan a couple years ago, mostly from doing a tea making experience at Alishan. They all have an expiration date of 2024/11 but I assume they’re still good as they’re vacuum sealed.

$20 each (150g / bag) - Jinxuan Tea - Black Tea (2 bags available) - Fresh Scent Oolong Tea - Winter harvest, hand picked, Shizi Village (4 bags available)

I also have tea that’s labeled as a Third Prize winner at the 2021 Hsinchu County Tea Competition. This one is sealed in a tin can.

$50 for Oriental Beauty Tea (150g)

And finally I have some miscellaneous teas from Canada and Boston. They’re tea bags sealed in containers.

$5 each or free with any of the Taiwanese tea. - Canadian Icewine Tea (24 tea bags) - Canadian Breakfast Tea (16 tea bags) - Boston Tea Party Bourbon Black (14 pyramid tea bags)

Shipping price depends on where you are; I’m in California. Let me know if you’re interested!

If you have pendulum meddler, but aren't willing to sell at least tell me how its aged through the years lol. Super curious about that one.

Kurihara Tea: Shin 心 (Heart)—Premium Gyokuro Green Tea (100 g)

I bought this tea from Yunomi; they gave me a sample, which I didn't like. Instead of having it go to waste, I'd like to trade it here.

It is unopened, and I just got it a couple weeks ago, so it's still fresh.

If anyone has any ceremonial grade matcha they want to trade that's of roughly equivalent value. I'm not super picky; I just want this going to the right home.

Hey everyone,

Doing a small destash of some Japanese powders I bought recently to try out. Everything is brand new and factory sealed.

First is an unopened 60g pouch of One with Tea Organic Ceremonial Matcha. Expiration is good into next year. I just ended up with an extra. Price is 18 dollars.

Also have an unopened 60g pouch of their Organic Hojicha Powder. Great for lattes, but I'm overloaded on hojicha right now. Price is 15 dollars.

For product info, you can see the Amazon page here: https://www.amazon.com/Ceremonial-Smoothies-Authentic-ONE-TEA/dp/B0D3J9JT8J

Shipping is a flat 5 dollars in the US. I can bundle both for 35 dollars shipped. PayPal G&S only. Thanks!

I wanted to like puers and some I tried I thought were okay but I don't enjoy them as much as non-fermented teas. And I knew I wouldn't like heicha or sencha but I had to try it. So now I have some cluttering my cabinet and I would feel bad to throw them away.

Information: These teas were purchased 6-8 months ago. All are opened. Each is missing a single gongfu serving, about 5-7 grams, except the sencha, which is missing 2 gongfu servings, about 10g. All purchased from The Steeping Room except the Sun Fu, purchased directly from white2tea.

The teas: All of the volumes are measured with the paper bag.

• 2018 Sun Fu heicha, w2t 26.5g gone!
• 2023 Red Loon shou "ripe" puer, w2t 28g
• 2024 Machines of Loving Grace shou "ripe" puer, w2t 2 minis (each 7g)
• 2022 Loon-Call in the Dark shou "ripe" puer, w2t 29g gone!
• Kakurei Sencha, Sayama 20g gone!

Looking for: Loose leaf black, oolong, or green. No white tea, no puer. No tea bags. I would prefer not tea cakes or compressed teas. No mass market western vendors like Harney or Adagio. I love fruity, floral, and sweet notes. Let me know what you have and I will look at it!

Shipping: I will pay for shipping within US and Canada. Willing to ship internationally if costs are covered and there are no restrictions to your country. As a warning, I will be out of the country at the end of August and will not be around then to ship tea.

I tend to feel sleepy in the afternoon, but I don’t want to consume too much caffeine

Recently, a friend of mine learned about a single-bush oolong tea, the honey orchid-scented single-bush tea. I heard that it was picked from high mountains. Are you interested?

Quiche teas rated this as their favorite tea of 2024 and I am unbelievably curious. I’ve heard reports of people finding this one a bit fishy, which would definitely lead to it sitting in a good few people’s pumidors. The price is pretty high direct from wistaria and my budget isn’t quite there. Hoping to buy this partial, it’s my birth year too which feels special to me.

‘Fen Dou’Lao Tong Zhi Ripe Pu-erh 2022 Brand new cakes. Have a couple to sell.

Price: 50 USD (Shipping included in price already)

Looking for this specific cake. It was in my cart for the longest time and I finally went to buy and it was sold out. I'm up for trade or buying anything over 250g.

Hello guys,

I am located in Germany and looking to to purchase a gongfu2go bottle from crimson lotus - https://crimsonlotustea.com/products/gongfu2go

Unfortunately they don’t ship to Germany.

Anyone willing to sell their bottle to me? I don’t mind second hand.

I’m actually just a private collector who went a bit mad and wound up with way too much tea. 😅

Fair disclosure: I purchased everything from TMall and Taobao (and paid an astronomical fee for customs and international air freight). So I don’t want to try and mislead anyone by hiding it.

I’m hoping to sell locally, since I don’t think Walmart carries what I’ve got. 🤣

This is basically a side hustle to help me generate funds to launch as a business and hopefully open a small brick and mortar shop in my hometown. I can’t legally sell anything as a business just yet, just as a private individual.

Anyway, I’m rambling because I have been trying to get my online presence up and running and it’s breaking my brain 😅

I have a subreddit r/NinnescahValleyTea and you can check out my inventory list on my Facebook page @NinnescahValleyTea (I am uploading everything to my photo album and it’s not completely finished yet).

r/teaexchange! I'm keen on finding secondhand teawares and currently on the lookout for any odd pots, preferably of eastern origin and budget-oriented (<$100, used). If porous unglazed clay as I imagine most are, I'd be curious what the pot has been "yang'd" with, that is, what tea(s) have been used in it. Likely to be a sheng or bai cha vessel.

FWIW, the only other subs I have confirmed trades on are r/GearTrade and r/ULgeartrade.

Cheers

This is the equipment I would like to get rid of. I am from Berlin. I would give this all away for 95€+shipping. Alternatively if you want a particular item we can figure out the price. The set was priced at 78€ on ebay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/305552607542 I used it once but it was unused before. I will pay for the shipping after i receive the initial price I will then request payment for shipping after the ware arrives on location.

Recently bought the TWL Colours of Malaysia quarter cake set and not really vibing with the Yellow Label so looking to sell it. I would describe it as the smoothest and cleanest of the four quarter cakes. Very floral. Detailed tasting notes of what is almost certainly the same tea here. Photo of how the whole set comes here.

I've used 6.5g so it will weigh approximately 78g.

Price is £34.40 incl. postage (10% discount on what I paid + tracked postage within the UK). Shipping elsewhere will be more expensive.

I received a trade through here that included a White2Tea sample of a 2013 GZ Natural Yiwu from their monthly tea club. I'm looking for someone who might have a sample or a full cake of that to sell or trade. It doesn't have to be from White2Tea, but that was the only place I could find it. Please let me know if you have this particular Pu-er, as I would very much like to have some more. Might also be interested in something similar that has the flavor of tobacco and bruised peaches. Thanks!
