For 2003 Changtai Tea Shop Brown Changtai Hao (Single Stamp without Barcode Wrapper) Banna Seven-son Raw Tea Cake, Cloud will name it in short as “King of Brown Changtai”.  Cloud naming this tea as the King was due to the reason that it was the best and greatest Brown Changtai among all the others in the series.  Cloud is of the view that we cannot simply score the various types of Brown Changtai only by the year of production. The great tea should have rich sensation just like the King of Brown Changtai. 
 
King of Brown Changtai, being a tea cake compressed in 2003, was wrapped by a wrapping paper WITHOUT any barcode nor any basic tea specification printing on it.  In the past decades, there was no regulation governing the product barcode or product specifications. Therefore, no barcode or product specifications were required to be printed on the wrapping paper.  Thus, Cloud is able to draw a simple conclusion that the Brown Changtai tea cakes without barcode printed on the wrapper are the earlier batches than those printed with barcode.
 
On the Trademark Ticket of King of Brown Changtai, there is a single stamp, with 4 Chinese characters, being stamped on it.  It is believed that no one can interpret the meaning of those 4 Chinese characters craved on the stamp, except for the producer, Changtai Tea Shop.  Therefore, the market just calls this mysterious seal as “Single Stamp”.  
 
Among the three popular versions of Brown Changtai, 2003 King of Brown Changtai is the king and the best.  The low circulation in the market is because no tea connoisseur is willing to re-sell it.  The remaining number of available tea cakes nowadays in the market is very low.  Therefore, you are lucky if you can purchase one with a reasonable price.
 
A Trademark Ticket, printed with light brown milk tea color and stamped with a Single Stamp, was embedded in the 2003 King of Brown Changtai.  These are the special identification key characteristics of King of Brown Changtai. 
 
After almost 2 decades of aging, the tea broth of King of Brown Changtai is so gorgeous that the tea taste is very rich and thick with the aged aroma.  The Puerh tea taste is very traditional.  After sipping of such, you will find it is sweet and mellow with a little bit aged “gan” aftertaste.  Furthermore, the tea broth also gives a plentiful saliva increasing sensation, which is gorgeously fascinating and attractive.  This tea will definitely become the classic great and renowned tea in the future after the well aged famous Puerh tea.

[2003 Brown Changtai Single Stamp without Barcode Wrapper (a.k.a. King of Brown Changtai)]
 
Although Brown Changtai has different editions, after Cloud’s verification, you should focus on 
1) King of Brown Changtai, 
2) Ba-ba Brown Changtai, & 
3) Dual Secret Stamps Brown Changtai.
 
Among three of them, 2003 Brown Changtai single stamp without barcode wrapper is the king and the best of Brown Changtai.  The remaining number of available tea cakes nowadays in the market is very low.  You are lucky if you can purchase one with a reasonable price.
 
A few years or decades later, when the market knows more about Puerh tea, they will seriously treat the excellent wild tea compressed around 2003~2004 from Little Jinggu because the good tea taste will tell the truth.  For example, a lot of tea connoisseurs approve that the 2003 King of Brown Changtai (single stamp without barcode wrapper) is so gorgeous that, with its 19 years of aging now, this tea is very rich and thick with the aged aroma.  After sipping of such, you will find it is sweet and mellow with a little bit aged “gan” aftertaste, which is very long lasting.  The tea is definitely the successor of the current well aged Puerh tea, for sure!

King of Brown Changtai -
The Best Choice of Brown Changtai
: Cloud is of the view that we cannot simply score the various types of Brown Changtai by the date of production. The best choice with the great tea broth sensations is the King of Brown Changtai. The 2nd best is the later one being produced in 2004, the Ba-ba Brown Changtai. The 3rd choice is the one being produced in the middle period, the Dual Secret Stamps Brown Changtai.

In fact, Dual Secret Stamps Brown Changtai is a very good tea indeed. However, it is just the fact that the King of Brown Changtai and Ba-ba Brown Changtai are even better and more attractive with extremely good quality.

 

  • BROWN CHANGTAI

 

  • “Brown Changtai”

as its name suggests, is the tea cake with a brown wrapping paper under the brand of “Changtai Hao”. The Brown Changtai tea cakes were manufactured by Changtai Tea Shop (renamed as Changtai Tea Group thereafter), between 2003 and 2004 (different manufacturing period for different batches).
 

  • “Stamp”

means the stamp being sealed on the trademark ticket, which is embedded in the tea cake. Except for the Changtai Tea Group, it is believed that no one can interpret the meaning of the stamps. There are some Brown Changtai tea cakes with a single stamp on the trademark ticket, they are called “Single Stamp”; and there are some with two stamps, they are called “Dual Stamps”. The “Stamp” is the most concrete evidence to prove the year of production because the trademark ticket was tightly attached on the tea cake. You must firstly identify the “Stamp” to tell the batches.
 

  • “Barcode”

is the product barcode and product details being printed on the wrapping paper at the back of the wrapped Brown Changtai tea cake. In the past decades, there was no regulation to guide the product barcode or product description. Those wrapped Brown Changtai tea cakes without “Barcode” are believed to be an earlier batch than those with “Barcode”.
 

  • The manufacturing period of “Dual Stamps Brown Changtai” is in the middle of the entire batch of “Brown Changtai” between 2003 and 2004. Since it was the transitional period of wrappers, you will notice that “Dual Stamps Brown Changtai” were wrapped by two different types of wrapping paper(with the Barcode and without the Barcode).





The article written by Cloud☁️ in issue No.73 of Chinese Tea Magazine, Puerh Teapot Magazine.

The Early Great Tea Ordered By Changtai Tea Shop (Before 2004)



Brewing Tool:
Use a tea bowl (Gaiwan) or a purple clay teapot.

Amount of Tea leaves: 10g or one third of the brewing utensil's volume.

Before you brew: Rinse it with boiled water once, it will not be drunk and thus will not be counted as the first infusion.

Brewing method:
Add boiled water and brew for:-
5 seconds (1st infusion),
10 seconds (2nd infusion),
15 seconds (3rd infusion),
20 seconds (4th infusion),
30 seconds (5th infusion),
45 seconds (6th infusion),
60 seconds (7th infusion),
90 seconds (8th infusion),
and brew it as many times as you want until the tea broth is not strong enough.

  • [Storage means the Conditions of the Tea Cakes]
“Storage” of Puerh tea always confuses novices.  Warehouse means the place for storing stuff or stocks.  However, the Dry Storage, Natural Storage and Wet Storage of Puerh tea are not referring to the storage conditions of the warehouse.  In fact, Dry, Natural and Wet Storage are the terms for describing the storage status (i.e. ageing condition) of the tea cake itself.  In other words, these 3 terms are referring to the degree of wetness of a tea cake.  If a tea cake is affected by high humidity, we will describe it as “Wet Storage”.  If a tea cake is affected by low humidity, we will describe it as “Dry Storage”.


  • Health functions of Puerh tea
In the famous Supplement to the Compendium of Materia Medica (《本草綱目拾遺》) written by Zhao Xuemin (1765, the Qing dynasty), Puerh tea was described as "the first choice to refresh people's brain from too much drink, effective in promoting digestion and reducing phlegm, clearing away the stomach-heat and producing the body fluid. In particular, it tastes mild and slightly sweet, good for dispelling fats and detoxification, and promoting inner circulation.”
