Rich,

Thank you (again) for more guide-post on the topic I fall in love to. According to your plans to store more oolong you probably have some "theses" how to pick out good tea for aging...maybe next post about aged oolongs? I have very pleasant HungShui GaoShan from Stephane where my first idea was “hm, this roasting and aroma, it could be interesting in twenty years…”

Thanks Gingko! Tea tent? Haha, it's just my camping tent. Put a small table inside and hang a lantern in it and it becomes my makeshift outdoors covered "tea house" AKA tea tent. Ha!

Saving money for something better....

Congratulations! What's a tea tent?

Cool, I'll probably be there this coming Thurs in the mid afternoon. Please let me know if can stop by (and remind me to being tea!).

Sounds good Rich! I'm open most Thursdays through Saturdays. With regards to your post here, I think one of the reasons that home oolong aging isn't more popular is because there's a lot less information available about what kind of storage conditions produce good aged oolong--especially since a lot of the good aged oolong we're trying now wasn't even purposely aged in the

The tea is one of the gold-medal winners of the 2007 Lugu aged tea competition. Considering the quality, age (1986) the competition-winner award mark-up and the US retailer's mark-up it isn't a high price.

Perhaps it could be considered "high" if one were to buy it for that price in Taiwan, but not in the US. Not here, where there are several retailers that sell "

Awesome, thanks for the add! I like Floating Leaves Tea, but she specializes in Taiwan Oolong. Maybe we can share a pot of oolong there sometime?

Yes, Petr and I have communicated about the EoT aged DD (great price for the experience, I wouldn't be surprised if they're close to selling out) as well as different storage methods. Petr has the benefit of being able to think of

I knew there was another NW/Seattle blog I was missing on my list! Would you mind if I added you to the "Northwest tea links" on my blog? Hopefully someday we'll cross paths and share a cup :) I'll be interested to hear about your oolong tea storage progress. I see Petr Novak is doing the same with some EoT Dong Ding, stored in one of his pots and sealed with wax.
