Great fun to see the interaction between you guys! It is as enjoyable as what you have to say about the tea, at times. (No offense meant.) I don’t know much about purple varietal teas. Are they common in the world of puer?
Thanks Peter! Purple teas are somewhat common in pu’erh. There’s some doubts on whether they’ll age well. You can find a bunch of them (mostly inexpensive) from Yunnan Sourcing.
Cheers!
