I can across my first commercial packages of BiLouChun and DaHongPao.
Both comes in the glass jars from the couple of Chinese companies making hard to find Chinese teas more available and affordable. The DHP was still expensive at 2oz/$10 and BLC at 5oz/$10 which is ballpark. I also got my first two commercial packages of TenRen locally available in Taiwan and not export. One was a TungTing at $6/150g with tart taste and my first green tea from Taiwan. TenRen called it "non fermented". It wasn't pouchong. It was reasonable at $6/200g. The local site is MyTenRen. You'll also see some of their puer. Does anyone know if Taiwan can make puer? I see it availabe from other Taiwan vendors but I would think it must be imported. I asked one Chinese owner why she didn't stock more compressed puer. She said the past year local DimSum restaurants buy her out and charge outrageous prices to serve. She said everybody gives her phone numbers to call when she gets some in. I could tell she didn't want another one. PS: I came across some more pouchong packaging with the Qing character previously suggested by Lew. It must be the meaning in Taiwan. Jim |
