[Recital]: Cloud has been posting several hundreds of tea photos in many discussion groups since 2002. These photos were loosely distributed over different discussion forums. I felt hard to locate the photos I posted. Besides, there are a lot of restrictions of those internet photo albums. Therefore, Cloud decides to place these photos under my newly registered domain http://www.cloudsteacollection.com starting from September 2006 in order to organise these photos systematically so that tea lovers can easily find the tea photo information they want. The photos and the site will be updated from time to time. You may come here to take a look regularly. Hope you will enjoy the photos here. If you want to leave me a message, welcome to one of my two tea blogs Cloud's Tea Collection - Blogger or Cloud's Puerh Tea Collection - Blogger. There is only several page at the present moment. Please refer to the index. This is a temporary design. When there will be over several hundred photos, I will consider to classify those photos in accordance with their natures. However, reconstruction of the site takes a lot time. Let's see how it goes.

A0024 The photo shows both "Guangdong Tea Cake" from 1960's and 1970's. Why do people call some of them as "Guangyun Tribute Tea Cake" or "Guangyun Gong Beeng"? The "Guangyun Tribute Tea Cake" was named in a book called "Puerh Tea" wrote by Mr. Deng in 1995. Mr. Deng was of the view that the quality of the "Guangyun Tribute Tea Cake" was above average and having a good taste in 1995. After discussion with other tea experts, they all judged that this "Guangyun Tribute Tea Cake" was mixed with Yunnan tea leaves but compressed in Guangdong however. Therefore, Mr. Deng named these precious 1960's Guangdong Take Cakes as "Guangyun Tribute Tea Cakes". Thus, the "Guangyun Tribute Tea Cake" represents 1960's supreme "Guangdong Tea Cake". In fact, the "Guangyun Tribute Tea Cake" is also one of the members of the "Guangdong Take Cakes". From the photo, we can see that there are differences in the appearances and shape of the tea cakes from two different decades, 1960's and 1970's. Those differences are decisive to the great qualities discrepancy. Cloud is of the view that only the 1960's "Guangdong Tea Cake" with good quality and taste can be truely named as "Guangyun Tribute Tea Cake".

A0031 Zhongcha Brand Simplified Chinese Characters Seven-sons Tea Cake. They had been producd since 1970s. The estimated length of production year of this tea was from middle of 1970s to early 1980s. Why does the market called them as "Zhongcha Simplified Chinese Characters"? It is because the Chinese Characters printed marked with circles in this photo are simplified characters. The circle marked with a "*" shows that the words used are different. In "Simplified Chinese Characters", the word description is "Branch" while the word description used in "Traditional Chinese Characters" is "Tea Company". Can you find some other differences of the printing on the wrapping paper between them. [Ans: A0004 & A0005]

A0036 The upper one is really the "Discus Tea Cake" which has a totally flat surface and having a sharp straight edge [Ref:A0038] compressed with a metal mould. Since the metal mould has many tiny small holes for steam to pass through in order to soften the crispy dry tea leaves before compression, there will be a lot of nails left behind after the strong compression.

However in that storage environment, the tea cake still ages and grows itself. It's time for you to review how you store your precious tea cakes.

Rough Wrapping Paper Eighty-five Eight two (8582) in 1980s. It is a raw tea cake. I just simple broke the tea cake without using any tools. It was is simple and direct and there was no mercy to the tea cake. However, before I brewed them, I separated the tea leaves softenly in order to avoid breaking the tea leaves severely. Breaking down the tea leaves with soften force also helps tea leaves to absorb hot water.

Rough Wrapping paper 8582 (1980s), raw, brewed tea leaves. This 8582 aged puerh tea offers many infusions. I have been brewing it over the past two days because I just brewed around 7 to 8 infusions each day. The photo shows the status of brewed tea leaves when it has been brewed more than 20 infusions. Thus, in fact, aged puerh tea is not too expensive because it offers you many infusions. After the tea leaves have completely spread, we can draw a conclusion from inspecting the spread tea leaves that its storage environment over the years should be dry storage under normal environment.

By sipping the broth, I felt that it was thick and rich. A very little bitter taste came after the mild sweet aftertaste. This was the Yiwu style which I always missed. The taste recalled my memory and seems to tell me that it was not the right time to brew because it can have further aging. The light yellowish colour reminded me that it is improving. I recollect that the broth of the tea at the time I bought it was so light that I was at a time having doubts that whether I had bought a right tea for aging. Fortunately, the time proves that I am right.

A0069 Purple Sky Ripe Tea Cake: There is purple stamp with a Chinese character "SKY" on the wrapping paper

A Ripe Tea Cake produced in early 1990s. The taste was not bad however its high price right now. Whether it is worth that price depends on how you valuate it. Am I rich enough to buy that? Nope, I just bought it several years ago. The following message was posted in peinfo forum on 2006/10/10 08:41pm: The price of 1994 dry and clean Purple Sky Ripe Tea Cake is around US$300. Cloud says, ¡§Oh~ My God. It is really like drinking gold.¡¨

A0076 Aged Liu-an Small Basket Tea: It is believed that the traditional Liu-an Small Basket Tea was ceased to be manufactured before the establishment of the People's Republic of China due to the turmoil at that time. However, there were still demands from the market in 1980s for the purpose of being part of the traditional prescription. Thus, the Liu-an Small Basket Tea was manufactured again in 1980s. Besides, the trademark of "Zhongcha Brand" was used.

A0080 "First Step to Chinese Puerh Tea", Cloud's first introductory book.
I am sorry for not updating this site since 25 October 2006 after I wrote a short note on the Aged Liu-an Small Basket Tea. In the past two weeks, I was extremely busy in writing an introductory Puerh Tea book for overseas Chinese and Westerners. It was a hard job indeed and I rushed for the texts. Honestly speaking, I did not sleep well. I did not expect that there were a lot of minor stuff requiring attentions. Writing a book is totally different from writing a blog post or an article in the magazine. I need to handle more than what I have expected. However, it is worth doing so.

Although it is not easy for one to become a Puerh Tea expert, there will be no difficulty to join into the Puerh tea¡¦s world if you have the accurate information and materials. I wrote this English Puerh Tea book not only for overseas Chinese, but also for Westerners. In fact, Puerh Tea starts to become popular in non-Chinese areas despite the fact that the phenomenon is very preliminary. However, I must point out that some Westerners are now fascinated by the Puerh tea. Some of them are willing to purchase the Puerh tea products directly from Guangzhou and Yunnan through the Internet. I can foresee that if the accurate information cannot be passed to those beginners, it will be a disaster to Chinese Puerh Tea.

I am honored and privileged to be invited by Wushing Book Publication to write on this book which is a new page for Chinese Puerh Tea. I would like to present to you my first book ¡§First Step to Chinese Puerh Tea¡¨ which will be issued on 19 November in the Second Southeast Asia Puerh Trade Fair 2006 in Malaysia.

These are one of my tea collections. After I have wrapped them carefully, I packed them into my lugguage and brought them to Malaysia for my readers. Finally, readers took all of them. At that time, I was busy and I forgot to tell my readers that these mini-tea cakes are 2003 and they are raw tea cakes as well. Have a nice tea!

This series of tea cakes was joinly ordered by Everlasting Tea Company and Mr. Shi in 2004 and compressed by Chengtai Tea Company. This series consists of tea cakes stamped with Yiwu(©öªZ), Manzhuan(ÆZ¿j), Yibang(­Ê¨¹), Menghai(²r"®ü) chops. I am of the view that the taste of the one marked as "Yiwu" is good, which offers sweety taste, rich and thick broth, many infusions, soft sensations, longlasting aftertaste. It is one of the Cloud's Tea Collections. I had been buying the "Yiwu" one repeatly throughout the last two years. It is said that the price of this series is high, thus, it may not be worth buying. Whenever you notice a friend of yours has this series of tea cakes, ask him to brew it or get some samples so that you can have a better understanding and memory of this series.

A0084 (Relevant Photos A0084 to A0095) In 2003, these seven tea cakes were just released from a Wet Storage warehouse. They are the mid-1990s Menghai Seven-son tea cakes.
The surface of these tea cakes in 2003 were still in light grey color. At that time, there was still some irritating Wet Storage smell from the surface of the tea cakes and the aged aroma did not emerge. It took time for the cakes to age and revitalize. After 3 years, the situation became better and better. You may compare this with the subsequent photos. I did not take A0084 on purpose. However, it becomes one of the old photos which is important for research.

A0085 This was a photo I posted on a website in 2003. (Relevant Photos A0084 to A0095)
The purpose of posting this photo was to deliver a message that the aging condition of the tea cakes from the same batch of tea storing in the same Wet Storage warehouse could be substantially different. The tea cakes wrapped in the stack aged with less moisture so that the tea cakes are still alive and vivid. You can find those tea cakes wrapped were in great reddish color. However, one of the tea cakes from another stack of the same batch of tea, i.e. the one at the bottom of the photo with brown color, has been deteriorated and not suitable for further brewing because of its exposure to seriously high humidity.

A0086 Please compare this photo with A0085. The stack photoed is the same stack of tea cakes in A0085. (Relevant Photos A0084 to A0095)
After careful comparison, you will find that the whole stack of tea was not opened for the last 3 years. The position of tea cakes and strings were the same. The only difference is that the colour of the tea cakes becomes more reddish like chestnuts. The tea had further aging and the tea buds also became more golden than before. I will definitely break them up for future consumption.
