my company Chayo tea friends just won second place in the baked and aged Oolong category for the north American tea championships with our honey tieguanyin from Muzha Taiwan.

Last year we won first place with a coal baked tieguanyin under our old label "the tea kings," and I'm glad we were able to get a good placement again this year.  :) :)

 

Just wanted to share, since this is really great news for me  :) :) :)

Congagraduations !  

 

I like food competitions ... especially the one's with free samples !

 

Here, one can go to the Country Women's Association bake-off   . If you go to one of their competitions , there have all these  tarts there . 

 

And they will let you taste what they baked .

If I were willing to pay the $5000 to get a booth at the Tea Festival held by the same organization as the event, I would be able to give you samples. 

Just come to Toronto and drink tea with me there!!

 

Pu'er, Oolong, its all good!!  :)

Key protip - I believe the 2nd steep of puerh tea is the good-tasting one! B)

Of course! My comment was about what tea would you take along for a 10-year mountain retreat, you can only bring one type...kind of the desert island thing. :D

 

I just like the aggressive nature of certain raw puerh cakes (very yang) and then the mellow and deep calming (yin) nature of aged cakes. Hahaha. The Chinese know how to play with yin and yang, like the sun and the moon. :wub:
