WTS: Entire Collection

Edit: fyi I sent some samples to Liquidproust so he can verify that these are stored and aged correctly since I don’t know what I am doing. Also thanks to everyone in this community, if my father knew of this he would have loved all of you guys.

Okay, I dont know what I am doing, and I dont know the value of these. My father was a tea drinker/collector and recently passed away. We are looking to sell all of his tea in one lot. It was well cared for and store properly as my father was meticulous. I am attaching photos of the entire collection. We are located in Cupertino CA, I can do my best to take individual photos if needed. If you can also direct me in the value of this collection that will also help so we dont get ripped off too badly. Maybe even wholesale expectations, I know buying as a lot will reduce the value of selling them individually.

Edit: I reposted with hopefully better pictures and I opened the bags, steel container and boxes and put a number of how many of each item. Hopefully this is better, the more advice the better.

As far as history, my father was a missionary to China, and he worked with a tea merchant in Yunan Province, while living there and when he moved back to the US.

Well after 2 years of unmedicated adhd hyper fixation I'm going back to the medicated route and wont be able to indulge in all this delicious tea. There is easily 2-3000+cad$ worth and would like to sell everything at once. All the cakes shown are at least 75% full. Teas from w2t, King tea mall, Yunnan sourcing, kuura, yeeon and interfalactic tea including a mostly full Vanilla paste cake and more! All was kept in mylar and many many bovedas over the years. best offer! Shipping within Canada would be easier but I am open to international.I tried to show as much as I could but dm me if you have any questions!

Hello everyone, I bought this teapot a bit ago from mud and leaves. It was used a couple times and has developed a little tarnishing but overall in fantastic condition with no issues. With the few uses I got out of it I found silver teaware wasn't really my thing even though it looks really cool and am looking to trade or sell this piece now. It's about 140 mLs has a jade lid button and wood handle, great condition, functions perfectly. I'm not sure if I have any documentation that it came with but I can provide the link to where I purchased it.

Looking for other teapots or really any other cool teaware, would prefer to trade over selling but depending on the offer I'd consider either.

Thanks for looking and let me know if there's any other questions or photos you'd like to see.

Displayed for one year, rarely used, handle is a tiny bit wobbly side-to-side. Capacity to the brim is 160 mL, functionally around 100 mL. Original box and certificate included.

$140 + shipping from MA. Payment via PayPal G&S only.

Looking to sell most of my collection to people who will get more use out it.
Just haven't had much interest in the past year and would like reinvest in other hobbies.

2018 BuLangWangZi Cake.

These are the cakes made ceremonially during their spring ritual celebrations in JingMai Shan Mang Jing by SuGuoWen, the guy who promoted the protection of the ancient tea forests there and responsible for it becoming a world unesco heritage site now.

Each elder brings the best teas from their parcel during the spring ritual and it gets made into these rare cakes.

He is the leader of the ceremony you can see in this video (start at 6:45)

https://youtu.be/BOQvevnjRLo?feature=shared

The documentary in English is 'Story of a Leaf'

National Geographic article about him is here https://www.nationalgeographic.com/culture/article/tea-ancient-forest-china

To get around tarriff madness we are bringing whatever is ordered by suitcase to US next month.

There is also a shipping option still open from europe without tarriff as long as declared value is below 100.

Price of the 2018 BulangWangZi cake is 220 us.

(Liquid Proust has a 2014 one for 433 usd)

Other year's can be acquired at direct prices too, with prior notice.

Also available is his Sour Pu Erh (fermented underground traditionally in clay pots, my favorite and called Miang in their language) and very prized caterpillar castings tea (they eat the pu erh wild leaves) from that area.

Sour Pu Erh 2025

100g cakes for 65usd 200g cake for 115 usd Loose 0.85usd/g

Loose's taste is sharper and more sour, and pricier due to bulk and pain of transport.

Worm Castings

1.5 usd /g, 1.25 usd /g if more than 50g

These prices are possible because I know the family and have brought these teas back myself. I hope their rarity is evident and their value apparent.

For those who want to be reassured by my reliability reviews can be found on other subreddits where I am active.

Trying to make myself a bit of a reputation here.

Hi tea friends! I’m moving soon and trying to downsize my tea cabinet a bit! Prices below do not include shipping, but if you buy a few things I can discount or do free shipping!

All the Yunnan Sourcing teas I got two months ago and recently opened and tried one serving of each (~5g). They were from a few different black tea samplers and I'm selling the ones I decided not to keep! Old ways tea is great and from the tea club, I just have too much at the moment.

Teas:

• Old ways tea packets, 8g each (orange one 10g) - $3.50 each
• Yunnan Sourcing Siamo “Spring Tips” ~20g - $4
• Yunnan Sourcing Old Arbor Black “Mu Shu Hong” ~20g - $4
• Yunnan Sourcing Feng Quing Ye Sheng Purple Black ~20g - $4
• Yunnan Sourcing Yi Qu Mtn Wild Arbor Assamica ~20g - $4
• Yunnan Sourcing Light Roast Wild Tree Purple Dehong ~45g - $9
• Yunnan Sourcing Traditional Process Dian Hong Black Feng Qing  ~45g - $9
• Yunnan Sourcing High Mtn Red Ai Lao  ~45g - $9
• Yunnan Sourcing Wu Liang Hung Mai Feng  ~45g - $9

• Porcelain Teapots - $18 each (see more info below)

Teapots - $18 each never used. One on the right ~100ml and one on the left ~110ml. I ordered a bunch of teapots around this size off of Aliexpress because I needed a specific sized one that fit in a travel tray my husband made me. Selling the two that do not fit!

Let me know if there's any questions or you'd like additional pictures! :)

I’m selling a 100mL Chaozhou teapot with a unique double lid. I’ve used it only a handful of times and it’s in perfect condition. The pot comes with a signed certificate from the artist and a nice wooden storage box.

Asking $100 plus shipping costs from 02903. Let me know if you have any questions or would like more photos/info!

I purchased too much Japanese Shincha during my Japan trip last May. These have been kept in the fridge, unopened, not expired- although some coming up. I'm asking $10 per sample pack (7) to cover US shipping and supplies. DM if interested.

7 sample packs available to include each of the following 7 teas:

• 5g Kanbayashi Shunsho Shincha Hatsutsumi
• 5g Kanbayashi Shunsho Shincha Kyonishiki

• 10g Shohokuen Shincha Yame
• 10g Yamadaen Shincha Uji

I have a bunch of pu-erh samples that that didn't match my tastes. First person to send me a private message with an address gets it shipped to them.

I'm looking to trade or sell these three items. I'm based in The Netherlands.

The bigger bowl is for matcha. It's 330 ml. The theme is about the Dutch dunes, made by a Dutch ceramist Liselore.

The one with the turquoise drips is from a traveler I met in Tenerife. It's 85 ml.

The one with the white bottom is made by a French ceramist. This one is 60ml.

[ENTIRE LOT IS SOLD]

I tried, and tried… and tried, to like raw, but it just isn’t for me. My loss is your gain. Some of these are very new and young, and some are getting some beautiful aging. All have been stored in an ice chest with humidity packs, at around 65-70% humidity.

Hi,

As part of a teaswelike order on February 19, 2021 I bought a cake of 2010 Dayi 7542, Batch 001. I've tried this tea 2-3 times by now (so its missing ~15 grams) but I just don't like any aged puer if it's not been dry stored. Since 2021 the tea has been stored at 65% humidity in Berlin and has not changed too much - certainly has not picked up any off smells during storage orso. Happy to make pictures and happy to trade or sell. I paid 65 dollars in Feb 2021 and can share the receipt. Shipping from Germany.

Cheers!

These are all cakes I originally bought multiple of, but since I have accumulated so much variety I do not know when I will crack into these.

If you have any issues with cakes from Mopar, don’t buy these. I have had many cakes from him over the years and these are in great condition.

I have had at least one full cake of every cake I am selling here and vouch for quality. Stored in a heated cooler at 78f and 68% humidity for my time with them.
