I don't remember the batch but the cake looked much younger compared to the photographed one. Maybe your sample was stored in a humid Hong Kong warehouse while Mae Sai got a climate similar to Yunnan... However, I liked what I tasted and even my (usually) non tea drinking companions were impressed by the tea's sweet aftertaste.Teamaniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00109665553509210001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482679075238634417.post-58171778773574701182013-02-02T23:38:06.126+01:002013-02-02T23:38:06.126+01:00Thank you for your comments and explanations!
I t...Thank you for your comments and explanations!<br /><br />I too expected a batch x01 to include the first tea harvested in year x. Good news for me - as I am not using tea as an investment, I can just buy batches x02 or x03 at lower prices and expect similar quality.<br />And I know that you can not expect the same level of quality from a Dayi 8582 as from a Jingmai Gushu. But at times I feel like drinking a rustic blend while other days I crave for a handmade single mountain tea.Gerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10505036540706162743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482679075238634417.post-42774223141469428592013-02-02T12:45:32.284+01:002013-02-02T12:45:32.284+01:00The first batch of a year (001 in 2010,101 in 2011...The first batch of a year (001 in 2010,101 in 2011, 201 in 2012) is slightly more expensive because it's the first one of the year and there is more demand for it. Dayi tea is largely used as an investment currency. From the pricelist I have, the 201 batch is 15% more expensive than the 202 batch for both 7542 an 8582 recipes.

I mean it must have any sense. Can you please clarify?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7482679075238634417.post-11881244938976884062013-01-27T12:55:26.808+01:002013-01-27T12:55:26.808+01:00I think a recipe is a very accurate description of...I think a recipe is a very accurate description of what's in the cake, the blend changes according to the maocha available and the tea taster's choice. They try to achieve a similar taste every year, different factories can produce 8582 cakes, using different material. I've heard some even produce 8582, 7542 or others using old trees material. <br /><br />It is common that the large factories mix several years together, as well as several seasons. A lot of summer tea goes into blended cakes to lower the price.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673406036042817965noreply@blogger.com
