I found this is a very useful and convenient feature.  If my readers want to view all the posts about "1980s", the system will lead him to all those relevant posts I marked and classified as "1980s".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, please come to:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.puerh-teapot.com/blogs/cloud" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.puerh-teapot.com/blogs/cloud&lt;/a&gt; (English Version)&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.puerh-teapot.com/blogs/clouds" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.puerh-teapot.com/blogs/clouds&lt;/a&gt; (Chinese Version)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2007-10-28 update message to all:&lt;br /&gt;(The above blogs' severs were closed so that my new blogs no longer exist).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the way, instead of writing a good blog, I would like to update my own domain&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cloudsteacollection.com"&gt;http://www.cloudsteacollection.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, click to Cloud's Tea Collection to view the updates &lt;a href="http://www.cloudsteacollection.com" target="_blank"&gt;http://www.cloudsteacollection.com&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to write me something, you may leave a comment here.

    <content type="html">psychopuncture on September 2nd, 2006 09:41 pm (UTC) said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;hello cloudstea.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;as you probably know, there are many in the puer world who &lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;are not who they say they are...&lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;if you are truly who you say you are, welcome. and, if so, &lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;please forgive me for my bluntness, to follow:&lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;your post (and your "handle") sounds quite substantially &lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;like posts on this forum by people of less than savory reputation. &lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;so, if this is once again j-free/jeffrey or aaron fisher, &lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;please be kind enough to identify yourself honestly.&lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;if not, once again, please accept my apologies. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I reply,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"psychopuncture,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for your reply.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;there are many in the puer world &lt;br /&gt;&amp;gt;who are not who they say they are...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Exactly, you get the point. I think it is normal for you to have such a concern because in the internet &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;world, it is not easy to verify people's identification and the validity of their contents.&lt;br /&gt;That's true.  I totally agree with you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, I like this kind of attitude of yours. Why? Because when you are told by someone, you do not 100% &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;believe, but still open yourself to verify the infomation steps by steps or to wait for more information &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;to confirm the validity of the information.  This is a very good attitude to figure out Puerh Tea, in &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chinese we have this statment (translation) "Make a imaginative assumption, then prove it carefully."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am sorry that I do not know what happen previously, therefore, I did not following this statement: "this &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;is once again j-free/jeffrey or aaron fisher."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, I am new to here.  What I said is just what I have said.  I think people here would better to &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;believe the evidence I provided in the future rather than just my words.  Time will prove.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to Puerh Tea, you are right that the information in the Puerh Tea world is not as 100% as you think.&lt;br /&gt;What I mean is that what people told you may not be the correct information about the Puerh Tea, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;especially when involving aging year.  However, this is the problem not only encountered by the Western's &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Puerh World.  Even in our Chinese Tea community, it always happens that even some Vendors (I do not mean &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;those have reputation) did not know exactly the products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have taken some photos for you.  I chose to take a close up to a box of square tea bricks produced in &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1999 and by Xia Guan Tea Factory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we go,&lt;br /&gt;The photos show some of my collection on my bookshelf (Puerh Tea conquers the top two rows).&lt;br /&gt;I collect Puerh Tea just like people collecting wine.&lt;br /&gt;When I took the photos I found one of my good collection, 1999 Xia Guan square tea bricks.&lt;br /&gt;I chose this one to show you this time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/00002712/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/00002712/s320x240" width="320" height="240" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/00003q65/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/00003q65/s320x240" width="320" height="240" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/00004q8g/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/00004q8g/s320x240" width="320" height="240" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/000050t4/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/000050t4/s320x240" width="320" height="240" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Hello everybody!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am glad to have my own Puerh Tea Blog today to share my Puerh Tea experience with you.&lt;br /&gt;Maybe, I should let you have some ideas of who I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am a private Puerh Tea Collector since 1993.&lt;br /&gt;Most importantly, I am a local Hong Kong citizen.&lt;br /&gt;I am lucky that I was born in Hong Kong and engaged with Puerh Tea when it was not so popular. That means I was able to collect those aged Puerh Tea which cannot be easily accessed nowadays.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I truely believe that learning Puerh Tea is not difficult, however, you must accumulate a lot of experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In short, how to appreciate Puerh Tea is experience, experience and experience.&lt;br /&gt;Puerh Tea is an Art learnt through experience.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope you will enojoy my Blog in the near future.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is quite boring to just have text descriptions without viewing any picture, right?&lt;br /&gt;Here we go...&lt;br /&gt;The following Aged Raw Puerh Tea Cakes are one of my series of collections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/00001rzw/"&gt;&lt;img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/cloudstea/pic/00001rzw/s320x240" width="320" height="240" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You may come to my another Blog:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://cloudspuerh.blogspot.com/"&gt;http://cloudspuerh.blogspot.com/&lt;/a&gt;</content>
