Jing Tea Puerh Tea Tasting Event
After the great response to their ‘introduction to tea and tea tasting’ event held at the Hyatt Regency Churchill in January, Jing Tea will be holding another event on the 27th of February focusing specifically on puerh tea.
“Edward will explain in detail the production methods behind both raw and cooked puerh teas, their storage, taste and vintage. A range of extremely fine and rare puerhs will be tasted, including raw and loose puerhs from the 1990s, 1980s Xiaguan Factory Cake, 2000 Yiwu Raw Puerh Cake, 1970s Menghai Factory Cake and, if possible, 1950s raw loose puerh.”
This event will be held on the 27th of February in a central London location and there are 25 places available. However, if demand justifies it, we will replicate the event on the 24th of February.
To attend call Ela or Bethan on 020 7183 2118. There will be a booking fee of £10.00 per person

Sorry for the people who choose Jing Tea as a supplier for pu erh… There was not raw pu erh in the 50’s, cooked loose pu erh only started to be developped during that time, and raw mao cha was compressed and not sold loose. I think that they should talk to their source in China because obviously, they do not know pu erh tea. The information about pu erh tea on their website is filled with mistake like the story for tourist: leaves are picked form ancient wild tree deep in the forest 
Real wild ancient tree leaves cannot be used to make pu erh because they are intoxicating. Old tree leaves is another story.
One who know pu erh, knows zi sha and beeing a collector myself, I took a look at their selection and found a 90 pounds duan ni yixing teapot which is not duan ni clay but a new type of red clay call orange-red clay.
Wrong info on pu erh, wrong info in Yixing teapot, I will pass on the other teas. It is really hard to think that Jing Tea is THE specialist for Chinese tea in the UK!
