這是08年3月我在香港一個公開論壇發表過的文章。在自己地頭留個記錄。
I posted the following pictures in a public tea forum in mar 08, about Puer Tea from Yunnan. In the old days, the fine aged Puer tea were made with tea leaves from a few different regions & mountains in the Xishuangbanna area. But since around 2000, tea merchants in the Mainland China started to heavily promote "Pure Bred" (純料) which mean tea leaves from a single mountain/hill or region.
I am a bit skeptical about this "Pure" concept. Firstly the fine aged Puer tea we are drinking now are very likely mixed different tea leaves so the flavors are multi-layered. There is no guarantee that the "Pure" Puer will aged into anything like the fine tea we enjoy now.
Secondly, with different tea leaves in the fine aged Puer, the taste and aroma changes as you make more brews. Not getting lighter taste, but different taste. The new type of "Pure" Puer do not seem to have any layering. The taste just getting lighter.
Among the different type of 純料 Puer, Yiwu is very famous and even the new (not yet aged properly) tea are selling at premium. This post discusses the Yiwu tea I have.

今天收到餅03的易武，回家途中想想原來自己已有好幾款易武。回家後就把茶餅拿出來拍照。
上圖的有9款 - 有名廠熱門產品也有小號制作。99到07的。
先上茶餅正，背面圖和特寫。有內飛的都拿走或蓋著。
大家估估那年的。評評餅型，賣相等。高手可能可以看出那家廠的。（不要偷看答案哦。）
過兩天上茶包裝，內飛等。想試的話我帶到茶聚。
Have fun.
(Update 10-Mar)
這次拍的照已經全部上了。
看過其他師兄的圖才想起自己還有易昌號的沱和小餅。或者遲壹點補圖。
這些茶全都說是易武的，是否真的不得而知。我自己對“易武味”還是有些朦查查。
A, B, D是機緣巧合下擁有的，並不是特意去找“易武味”。
F是我自己第壹只為了“易武味”而買的茶。本來以為試下就算。
後來有機會喝過“鬥記”03的易武覺得好喝，才繼續找，整整下又一大堆。
-
易武茶 A - 99易昌號宋體
買後第一次喝時，可能落茶葉太多和泡得耐，頭3泡苦過弟弟，第4泡神奇地甜苦交集，跟著苦味沒了。
想重錘出擊時，茶鋪話沒貨了。

易武茶 B - 99綠大樹

易武茶 C - 昌泰04易武正品，小藍字（內飛後面印了4個藍色的小字）
喝了後沒有什麽感覺。看茶湯色因該是輕倉，沒有什麽倉味。

易武茶 D - 永聘號，04？
這是我爸爸05年買熟茶時好奇買的兩餅。餅上是當時他寫的評語。

易武茶 E - 何天培的07麻黑秋茶

賣家給了我一泡同廠06秋茶，覺得不錯，所以買了些，希望有前途啦。

易武茶 F - 皇普坊07麻黑春茶
半年前才開始看三醉，經常看到人吹易武茶，好奇之下買了這茶。
那時不知什麽是麻黑，什麽是鄭家梁子。
收到時看到竹筒上寫著“鄭家梁子”，還問賣家那是什麽意思。幾個月後才知道這也算是麻黑茶了。

易武茶 G - 03年的3無產品。
G, H, I是一起買的。賣家自稱是有自己茶園的小號。開這貼是因為收到這茶而起的。
這茶看上去有些怪。看上去餅面很幹 - “幹增增”的幹。不像其他的有油光。
壓得很松，很容易整條茶葉拆出來。喝茶時可以看到葉底是很大的。
這3天每天都喝1泡試味。我覺得還可以。
今天和斑竹喝了一泡，或者他可以評評，和貼茶湯相。

My own comment on 13-Sep-08
—— 99易昌號宋體 ——
以前在“我的易武茶”一貼，我說過“買後第一次喝時，可能落茶葉太多和泡得耐，頭3泡苦過弟弟，第4泡神奇地甜苦交集，跟著苦味沒了。”
後來泡過幾次都沒有太覺有苦。但今天泡時這苦又來了。那種苦味有點是涼茶的苦，強度是涼茶一半吧。第四，五泡左右開始變得很甜。
雖然開始有些苦，後面的味道還是不錯。比起同期99年左右的茶，我喜歡喝開的那餅綠大樹多一點點。但我的小女，卻很喜歡這苦茶。頭兩泡的喝了起碼一半。她說雖然苦，但很香，喝了後覺得“yum...”，然後想再喝多點。
其它有這茶的師兄妹，有沒有這樣的先苦後甜的經驗？
有可能只是這餅？因為餅上的雞毛？頭發？黃片？

再喝昌泰的易武
上星期茶聚喝過佳哥的99易昌號宋體（易武茶 A），居然是和我的壹樣，就是苦頭幾泡，後面有點香甜，茶質薄，跟同期的綠大樹（易武茶 B）沒得比。好彩上年沒有機會高追。這樣的茶香港竟然賣千幾/餅，大陸過二千！
上星期也再試了昌泰04易武正品，小藍字（易武茶 C），也是香甜薄，沒有苦，酒紅色。有壹餅做版已夠。
上星期也終於試了上月買的昌泰03千家峰，三泡就開始沒有茶味只有甜味。也是有餅做版已夠。
昌泰03/04的易武茶唯壹稍有吸引的只是價錢便宜 - ￥160/餅。看來昌泰的易武不是我的那杯茶。

My Custom Order of 2009 Spring Yiwu Tea
Tea H was from a guy, Mr Zheng, whose family has been owning and working on the same patch of land of tea trees for generations, except during the Cultural Revolution period.
Zheng visited Hong Kong jn Jul 08 and had spent a few hours with us drinking his new tea and our aged tea. The newest in our tea was Tea B (99 Green Big Tree), and Mr Zheng really liked it and confirmed that it was Yiwu. However he did not really appreciate the older aged fine Puer, like our Simplied Zhong Cha (http://chinman.com/index.php?topic=76.0) or my Small Yellow Mark.
This was no surprise to us, since collecting and drinking aged Puer has long been a Cantonese or Hong Kong "thing". Traditionally Yunnan people drink only fresh tea like other green tea. There is no tradition of appreciating old tea or the knowhow to age them properly. By now, many fine aged Puer tea are totally out of reach for almost all tea producers - not only the good one are hard to find, the price has gone up to much that I doubt many of them would pay >$20000 for a Small Yellow Mark, or $10000 for a Simplied Zhong Cha, or even the Green Big Tree at RMB1400 a piece.
I wrote a long discussion in a public tea forum after having tea with Mr Zheng. My point was that now tea producers who has no idea how Puer age are producing "new Puer" to a mass market of consumers who also has no idea how an aged Puer taste like. Can we still expect the newly produced tea would be able to age to the taste we like now?
Anyway, there is not much we can do.
I have been trying Zheng's 07 Spring tea a few times, and find it quite good and may age to a fine tea in perhaps 10 years (relatively short in Puer terms.) I also thought that 09 may be a good year to stock up some new tea, since the market was not as crazy as few years back, and the tea trees may have enough time to grow and nurture.
I decided to buy 2 stacks (total 14 tea cakes of 357g each cake), and posted the following in tea fourm on 8-Apr-09 and asked if anyone would like to tag along.
The result was a huge surprise.

09易武春茶
舊年7月有位雲南做茶的鄭先生來了香港旅遊。我和幾位師兄跟他喝過他自己做的茶和我們的綠大樹，中茶間，和小黃印認真配方。後來我在香討上寫了篇“和雲南茶農的對話”。這裏有幾位師兄可能還記得那次茶聚。
鄭的正職是政府質檢部門人員。他的父母在鄭家梁子打理茶園。鄭在一些大陸的茶網上的名字是“古茶園”。
我買過幾餅他的純料茶，那時問過他為什麼會有自己的茶園。他說因為“1730年我祖先來到鄭家梁子開辟了現今這片古茶園，新中國成立後入為合作社，1981年實行農村土地承包責任制後，又按原祖輩開墾的歸還給其後代承包。”
他的茶的味道跟黃雲，廣雲福的麻黑茶味道都差不多，比較柔柔甜甜的。是不是這就是正宗易武味就不知道。他喝我們的紅票綠大樹時，鄭說那是正宗的易武味，他希望自己的茶他日也是那種味。
幾天前我問他今年什麼時候出春茶？大概什麼價錢？他的回應是“5月初就可以銷售了，價格800元/筒（7片）。代我向其他幾位茶又問好啊！”
我會同他定兩筒。有興趣搭單或試他的茶的出聲，我還有1餅他的07春茶和秋茶。

My Custom Order of 2009 Spring Yiwu Tea
Within 3 days, my friends "subscribed" almost 100 tea cakes.
With order this size, I proposed to make our own Nei Fei (the little piece of paper inside the tea cake) and proposed the following design.
The background picture was taken in an orchid show (http://chinman.com/index.php?topic=92.10), the poem was written on-the-fly by two of my friends.
---
谢谢locke兄提点。各位定茶的要留意下。
1。 我刚刚电话联络了郑。他现在还在茶山采茶。他说是有下雨，但只是阵雨，不会影响质量，云云。
2。 07春茶已经没有了，我买了的两饼是最后的。
3。 因为我们定超过10筒09春茶，所以都是以4千/小件计算，约￥95/饼。
4。 最后是内飞。他的茶本来是没有内飞的，我们可以加自己的内飞。但因为我们每人都是1到2筒，寄10种不同的内飞给他制作茶饼可能不大实际。或许可以制作一种内飞（如刻个“茶痴壼狂”的印），或照他原包装没有内飞。
因做茶饼是月中开始，我们因该这几天决定有没有内飞，有的话做约100张20号左右寄给郑。
茶饼总数25号晚截至，让他有时间计算运费。月底下单。

Before our golf trip to Kunming, I ordered the following seal to be used in our Nei Fei. The seal says "茶痴壼狂" which means roughly "Tea Craze & Teapot Nuts". :)

My Custom Order of 2009 Spring Yiwu Tea
One thing I did not realize fast enough was that with the inclusion of the custom design Nei Fei, this order of tea is no longer just a regular purchase. The tea has became sort of a souvenir.
There are now more emotions attached, in additional to hope (that the tea will age well.)
At the end, our order had grown to about 250 tea cakes, or about 100kg. At a normal serving of 10g for 2 or 3 people, this order is good enough for 10,000 servings.
Now the Nei Fei are ready, we should be getting the tea in about 3 weeks. I have put my personal chop in some of the Nei Fei. (The tea is the same, other than the additional marking at the back of the Nei Fei.)
Let's hope Zheng's tea turn out to be good. I will be very happy if it turns out close to the 98 Green Big Tree.

Upping the order...
-
My Custom Order of 2009 Spring Yiwu Tea
Progress update. I sent Zheng about 20 extra Nei Fei to put on the bamboo package as a label. But somehow he did not understand the instruction or missed the instruction or purposely ignored the instruction, all the Nei Fei was used in pressing the tea cake. ???
In stead of sticking to the original order, I will just purchase the extras. The extra money is not much, but it's annoying when people cannot following instructions. And this raise the question of his quality control.

My Custom Order of 2009 Spring Yiwu Tea
In the afternoon of 21-May, while taking pictures of my friends Shi Xiao Ma teapots (http://chinman.com/index.php?topic=140.0), the first shipment arrived. Somehow only 1 out of the 7 boxes arrived, and it happened to be the tea cakes with my own seal at the back of the Nei Fei. I opened one and took at few pic.

My Custom Order of 2009 Spring Yiwu Tea
Last night Zheng started to sell his 2009 Spring tea in the mainland, and each tea cake goes for RMB200 because of limited availability! We must have taken a very large share of his 09 Spring production.
The other 6 boxes arrived today (22-May-09). And this was what I found in the office.
-
My Custom Order of 2009 Spring Yiwu Tea
Most boxes are fine but one was badly damaged. A few tea cakes had the packaging ripped, but no real damage.

My Custom Order of 2009 Spring Yiwu Tea
The new tea we ordered from Mr Zheng was from his family's tea land in 郑家梁子.
Another guy Huang Yun is a teacher at the Yiwu Central School, and also a tea mechant. My first Yiwu tea was purchased from him. Huang posted this diagrams and descriptions.
易武各山位置介绍
易武 的古树应该有两个代表，一个是麻黑一条线：就是 荒田----曼秀-----三丘田----郑家梁子---落水洞----麻黑---大漆树为代表 。 另一条为高山 -----三合-----田坝----易比-----丁家寨。

The attached were the new pictures taken today 8-Jun-2011. This sample was stored in the office, so the year-round temp & humidity change is very limited. The lack of clear seasonal change is NOT good for the aging of puer tea. Judging from the color, there isn't really much change (aging) in the last two years.

My plan is to keep this piece as a sample for track change (aging) over the years. I will try to take picture once every 1 or 2 years to see the changes. In order to have accurate color, I am keeping the technical data here as well.

More technical data for my own record for future comparison...
The above pictures taken on 8-Jun-2011 was taken with the following lighting
- one daylight light box on top left
- ambient, slight warm, fixture light in the office dining room
- windows not covered, but it was evening, so no sun light through the tinted glass curtain of the office tower.
The result seems a bit to warm...

The tea looks nice, big tea leaves and the packing is beautiful..... ;D

Yes, they look nicer than older puer teas. I just hope they will eventually taste as good.
I have ordered a few extras for our friends here. Drop me a note if you are interested to try. I can give you one from each 山寨. Although you (and me) may not be able to tell the difference. ;D ::)
If you don't know what to try, start with the 鄭家樑子.

Thanks...MSW and I will have 3 cakes of 鄭家樑子 already.... ;D

Yes I know. If you want to try others, just let me know.
Although I think many of them not ready for immediate drinking. They should taste a lot better, with more substance after a few more months. Hopefully will age to much more complex taste in 10 years.

The last to arrive is the 麻黑 and the special "Nuts" version.

I just looked at my 普洱 purchase record. Between summer 2008 to Feb 2011, I had purchase ~70 pieces of this 99紅票綠大樹, at price between RMB1200 to HK$1700 each. Last week, I found out that the market retail price of this tea is listed at RMB4800!
Should have bought more!
