Default compressed tea in chinese

hola,

black/red, or Pu'er), or do you want compressed Pu'er?

yes, i know translators are only a way to remember things you
previously know, and to guess something if you don't absolutely have a
clue, sometimes is a bit useful, but language is a bit more complex and
rich than only few words put together [anyone could notice sometimes i
am translating -mentally, but translating- from spanish ]

and chinese must be more complex even!

so, i was asking here, because although babelcarp is a incredible tool
for introducing in chinese tea world, doesn't translate from english
[nothign to say about that, it's your site, you decide the contents],
so i didn't use it, i couldn't use if i even don't know what is bingcha
. well, i must know for the many times these words are mentioned
here, but i think having a table like mike petro did at hand is
something i must do

and as i dont't know any of these compressed teas, any of them puer or
not will do, at least as a contact. first step will be ask for any
compressed tea, and then ask which are they, but i only find jasmine
teas in all kind of tins, gunpowder, ti kuan yin, and a puer tuocha in
bags at 1 euro,
(http://worldoftea.webcindario.com/im...p?pic=2&id=tea) that
bought to compare to the puer i use to have from bomec... and i can
only say they are differents... maybe i like them all, or i don't have
trained my taste too much to appreciate the quality of a puer

anyway, thanks all a lot for all the knowledge shown here )
