Greetings,
Lam Kie Yuen Tea Co., Ltd, Bonham Strand, Sheung Wan, HK www.lyktea.com Off to HK next week and found this retailer via web search. Would anybody on the group living in or knowing HK have any experience with this retailer? His product range appears extensive and price list appears to be reasonable (to me as a newbie anyway). Obvioulsy can't assess the quality from the web, hence my query. His product range and prices are listed on the order form. Cheers Mal Oz. |

This is my first foray into a decent tea shop so the last thing I wanted was to be treated just like 'another tourist' ! I'm particularly looking for some very nice Wuyi oolong. I bought 8oz of Wuyi Yen Cha from Singapore recently and find it very enjoyable. I am not certain how this one rates amongst others but am looking forward to trying a few more. Cheers Mal Oz |

They also list 3 grades of cake ranging from $HK200 to $HK800. Appears to be their own LKY branded cakes -so could be anything. Concur though, the glass Gaiwan at $HK100 ($A17 approx) looks a little steep. Unless of course it's hand blown lead crystal of course ;-) According to the Discover Hong Kong website it looks like they offer a 10% discount (assume that's to tourists). Mind you, one would need to spend a bit to make that worth while. Anyway will be able to report back in a couple of weeks. Cheers Mal Oz > |

I've visited their store and bought a cake of the cheapest puerh they
sell under their own label. It's a 2006 cake. Not bad. I can't remember how old the other two are. I think the medium priced one is 2004, and the oldest one is something like 8-10 years old. You can ask to taste before buying anyone of them. The proprietor is an 80 year old gentleman. The puerh they're referring there should be loose. I didn't try those. You should also think of visiting the Best Tea House, which is not cheap, but has a good selection. They have a new store in Tsim Sha Tsui (reopened after the previous location in TST closed). Free pouring there as well. The store is on Peking Road. LKY is definitely cheaper. Good luck! There is a lot of good tea in HK.

[Kevin] well, those are not "anything". from the name it looks like the HKD800 cake is the "famous" '97 Lao Shu Yuan Sha made for them by Menghai Tea Factory. It's the cake pictured on that page: http://www.lkytea.com/engindex.php Better to ask by email though if you're interested, maybe they have another lao shu cake I don't know about..... |

The tea shop in New York City, The Tea Gallery, is by far the best I know here. It's a place to buy excellent tea, excellent teaware, and spend time in excellent company. I imagine the Best Teahouse in HK is also wonderous. Have fun! Michael |

It's quite nice. I go there all the time. Tea Gallery get some of
their stuff from BTH, others they have alternative sources, I believe Michael Plant wrote: > On 10/06/2006 12:34:20 "Mike Petro" > wrote: > > > You should also think of visiting the Best Tea House, which is not cheap, > > >> but has a good selection.

In fact, the store location (as I was told -- since I left HK before they were done renovating) is where the exit ramp for the Hyatt faced. Basically, if you turn in from Nathan Road, it's no more than half a block from Nathan Road on your left hand side, I think. |

Mal of Oz,
You can find the pu'er cake mentioned by MarshalN on my blog http://teemann.blogspot.com, under the Nov. 2005 archives. If you are looking for good quality Yan Cha, you might want to follow MarshalN's lead and head straight to Best Teahouse instead. I have tried oolongs and pu'ers from several shops in Hongkong, and for me, I prefer the Yan Cha offered by The Best Teahouse. If you can tell me where you bought your Yan Cha in Singapore, I might be able to provide you a rought indicator which shop to go to in Hongkong to hopefully match your tastebuds. You mentioned that Lam Kie Yuen has 3 cakes under its name, that would be probably be the 2002, 2004 and 2006 'house brand' pu'ers. They are good stuff, but a little humid-stored. Ask to try the 1997 cake, that would give you a benchmark of what humid storage Hongkong pu'er is like, then ask to try the rest, and settle for what you prefer. The Best Teahouse also has several good pu'ers, the famous one being the (thereabout) 1988 Menghai raw pu'er code 7542. This cake by now would be commanding a ridiculous price. The one I also like is the Zhen Chun Ya Hao - pricey as well, but cheaper than the 88 cake. Of the mid-range Yan Cha, the Drunken Concubine, Zui Gui Fei, is my constant favourite. www.besttea.com.hk Danny |

Danny,
Printed and added to my shopping list. Thanks. Somewhere here some wires have got crossed - didn't buy any (drinkable) pu-er in Singers, just some Butterfly branded Wu-i Yen Cha Oolong - which I found to be very drinkable for what I paid for it - about $US20 for 150gms. Was from Yue Hwa in China Town. I also bought my first compressed brick - cost me $2.50! You can brew the beejezzus out of it and it still comes out dark red !! What would you call a ridiculous price for the 7542??- I don't have a benchmark to compare. This is my first trip to HK looking for tea so I want to come back with a few teas that I know to be decent to use as a foundation to compare teas that I buy online when I get back.

I would suggest the HMV if you are into music and CDs, the selection there
is great and so much cheaper than Australia! If you have the time, hit Nathan Road and walk the straight road upward towards Yau Ma Tei there are lots of old tea shops there you can venture into... :") Danny "Draconus" > wrote in message ... > Yup, know it mate, I think theres a Delaneys Irish pub in the same street. > > Thanks > Mal > Oz > "MarshalN" > wrote in message > oups.com... >> >> Draconus wrote: >> >> >> > Thanks Marshall for the heads up.

Hi Mal,
OK shan't talk about the compressed brick... :") You will find a much larger Yu Hwa on Central (or is it Queens...I need to go back there for shopping soon before I forget the streets and locations!) on Hongkong island. 7542 can range from the very cheap to the ridiculously expensive, depending on what you are looking for. A late 80s 7542 would be in the range of HK$2000-3000, while the later productions, especially in the last 5 years, can be between HK$100 - 400...but do try the tea before you plonk down the cash!

Almost forgot, along Hankow street opposite HMV there's a teashop called
Ying Kee. I find their offering mediocre, but you might find some yan cha you like there. Try the Look Onn tea, they have several varieties with flavourings, which are interesting. :") Danny "Draconus" > wrote in message ... > Yup, know it mate, I think theres a Delaneys Irish pub in the same street. > > Thanks > Mal > Oz > "MarshalN" > wrote in message > oups.com... >> >> Draconus wrote: >> >> >> > Thanks Marshall for the heads up.

Ying Kee is quite mediocre. I wouldn't go there.
Any of the vendors on Bonham street will beat Ying kee in what they offer, I think, and at lower cost. Best Tea House is expensive, but good selection. samarkand wrote: > Almost forgot, along Hankow street opposite HMV there's a teashop called > Ying Kee. > > I find their offering mediocre, but you might find some yan cha you like > there.
