i find that ordering cheap ripe also ends up being thinner tea. so i would ultimately pay less, but use up the tea maybe twice as fast because the good flavour only comes out on double the tea.
I’m mostly looking for semi-aged blended factory tea these days. I find blended astringent raw tea to be ageing better than a single-origin tea, which can easily turn out to be a one-note boring tea.
For young pu’erh I’ve been really happy with most of the teas I’ve gotten from Farmerleaf. Many of his taste similar but I enjoy them and he processes many of them himself.
Yet it's amazing to put them head to head and find the differences. They all have their own character and energy. And the transparency and interaction is great as a customer. He does try to listen and see what he can do.
Sorry, could you write the singaporean site you refer to? I'm not familiar with it and cant find it easily on Google. Im in Australia so the thoughts intriguing given my relative closeness.
I live in this little country and the whole Chinatown area has a couple of tea shops within walking distance if you're looking to get your tourist tea souvenir. Pek Sin Choon focuses on oolongs and has both workman stuff and premium yancha and dancong (and some puerh cakes). They're not great at explaining their stuff both on the website and in person, so I kind of graduated from them, but will personally probably get one or two things to try every now and then. The quality is there if you like the specific tea you bought though.

Interesting. Could you please list links to the websites?

Oh I wandered in there and bought some ripe when I was in Singapore I think
Edit: it was cheap, but good. I haven't broken into it for a while.
