　 一位自從两年前成為普洱茶收藏家的馬來西亞退休高級警官─周日清，樂意與大家分享他的健康嗜好和生活方式上的個人經驗：品嚐普洱茶，以及不斷地向品茶鑒賞家求教。

　

就是這股動力驅使周收購了他深信具有藍籌股潛質的普洱茶。

　

自至今日，周收藏了數量不少的2005年下關南紹普洱茶為他主要的投資，以及一些來自勐海和下關茶工廠的得獎普洱茶。

　

"在雲南有不少的普洱茶茶工廠，但是勐海茶工廠和下關茶工廠就好比汽車中的嬌楚級─馬賽地和寶馬。"

　

目前是一位業餘保安顧問的周確信普洱茶的投資可在二、三年內取得比在財務機構定期儲蓄3.5至4.0巴仙高數倍的收益。

　

喝茶，加上健康的飲食習慣使周及他的家人享受悠然的生活環境；而過著半退休生活方式的周日青伉儷讓周全力投入其普洱茶研究和收藏興趣。周透露，普洱茶為他帶來第一個的好處即是讓他及他的太太從此告別折腾他們多年的背痛。

　

普洱茶的投資潛能

　

周說:
　

　 "我收購了為數不少的2005年南昭普洱茶作為投資。
馬來西亞的天氣（氣溫和潮濕）非常適合普洱茶的陳化製程。專家認為馬來西亞一年的陳化程度相當與來源地中國三年的陳化程度。

我所收藏的普洱茶目前已成長至一定的陳化程度，它所沖泡的茶色淺褐，其口感已無涩味，並有絲絲茶香。沖泡至第八壺時，其茶味帶甜。

我自認並非品茶專家。但根據一些對茶較有經驗的朋友說我所收藏的普洱茶的風味正朝向優質普洱茶的方向陳化。

我十分慶幸我收藏有如此高品質的普洱茶品茗，並且作為我的投資機器。"
　
　

周提醒，普洱茶的譍品在市場上汎濫。故此，在購買普洱茶時得多加留意。
　

普洱茶有如紅酒，越老越有價。一塊「紅印」茶餅可值馬幣5萬零吉（相對於美金1萬5千元）。




Since Desi started Blogging about three years ago (Yes, cometh Ides of March 2008, My Blue Haven is celebrating its Third birddae:), I have won several assignments arising from Blog writing which is deemed as Bonus; the latest ongoing is borne out by mGf resident at SL investing lots in Puerh tea AND in YL Chong's health. No-lah, I did not serve at the Health Ministry, that portfolio is jinxed and the occupant of that throne is easily sent off into Hell. As they say, "The Path to Hell Is Paved With Many Good Intentions." How the quote is relevant here, I can't tell, it's for Thee, myGOoDfriend, especially a potential nu'e wan Sdr AllenC, to figure out. Yes, it's 30-24-30 -- used to be the fashion/flavour of the year, beeshape and Puerh tea!:):)

I once wondered Why the Young&Articulates (Y&A) sometimes called each other "Banana", until Ignoramus Desi ignocently dareth to aRse wan. His/Her reply: Aiyah,it refers to a Chinaman/moi-lah, speaking only English, NOT a word of Mandarin.

Mandarin or Potonghua is the official Chinese medium promoted by Mainland China as a unifying one to transcend all those mystifying dialects like Kantonis, Hokkien,TeoChew and Yes, Hakka, said to "Hak Sie Yan"! -- which to Desi's limited Khek, which is another term, translates aSs :'flighten people to dead.'

So that explains Banana -- Yellow on the Outside, White on the Inside.
Got the insight now? OK, serve Desi a discus of Puerh tea!:)

So to make mGf with the slightest whiff of Chinoseerie blood in them,YL today is promoting a BILINGUAL post hear! SO THAT YOU ARE YELLOW ON THE OUTSIDE, A SLIGHT TINGE ON THE INSIDE AND WITH TIME, BLOOMING INTO FULL-BLOODED BERSIH COLOUR!
　

Choo's Collections of Pu-Erh Tea:



Nan Zhao - Wit' the most potential tea cake for value appreciation in the 21st century!
　

TEA COLLECTOR for two years, a senior Malaysian ex-police officer Choo Nyet Ching
周日青, would like to share his experiences in this new passion -- tasting new Pu-erh teas available in the market, and learning from the tea connoisseurs who preceded him in this healthy hobby and lifestyle. Of course, it is only logical extension that such a passionate pastime propelled Choo to start buying stocks of those teas he believes are of premium or blue chip grades. To date, Choo has a large collection of 2005 Xianguan Nan Zhao, primarily as a form of investment and several award-winning brands from the leading tea factories of Menghai and Xiaguan.

“There are many factories making a wide range of Pu-erhs in Yunnan but the Menghai and Xiaguan are what one would term the Mercedes and BMW as in automobiles as comparison,” he said with a smile as we sipped Pu-erh 7532 one fine afternoon after a lunch at his country home in Kuala Lumpur.

Though a late bloomer in appreciating Chinese teas, especially of the renowned kind, Choo, now a freelance security consultant, assured his guests that for those with some savings, Pu-erh is an investment that yields many times in return in just 2 or 3 years compared with returns on fixed deposits in the financial institutions which average 3.5 to 4.0 percent per annum.


Consuming tea in association with a healthy food diet ensures his whole family to maximum enjoyment of a soothing environment and for him and his wife, a semi-retired lifestyle that gives him time to research and build on his treasury of tea collections. He said an immediate benefit he could testify was that he and his wife, who suffered different body aches, especially in the back, now could state for the record they don’t get such aches anymore, after drinking vintage Pu-erh tea regularly, but never at night.



Pu-Erh Tea Investment Potential


In Choo's own words:
　
　 "I have a large collection of 2005 Nan Zhao as a form of investment.

The climate (temperature & humidity) in Malaysia is very conducive to tea aging. The experts say that one year of tea aging in the Malaysia is equivalent to about 3 years in temperate countries such as China where these teas originate from.

My Nan Zhao Pu-erh tea has now matured to a level where the colour of the infusion from the third round, is light brown and the taste is devoid of that of raw tea and the smoky smell is at a minimum. The flowery fragrance is very distinct.

I am not tea drinking expert but some friends who are more expert than I have told me the taste is excellent approaching that of a good aged tea. From the eight infusion onwards, it tastes sweet.

I am very pleased to have this collection of tea to savour as well as an investment vehicle." 　
　

It takes a connoisseur to be able to tell genuine Pu-erh from the fake just like there are fake wines in the market to con the average greenhorn consumer, Choo reminded.

　

Like French wines, Pu-erh teas become more valuable with passing time, and one piece or cake of the Red Mark Pu-erh can fetch upwards of RM50,000 (USD15,000), and one cake of 400 grammes can be good for about 50 sessions, assuming using 8 gm per session of serving for four persons over about 10 to 12 infusions.
