Hi folks,
I heard about Pu'erh yesterday and I'm intrigued. After reading the
About.com article, which is really just one guy's opinions, I am
curious what you folks think is the best type of Pu'erh to get. My
local Asian supermarket sells a few kinds of Pu'erh.
For instance, is there a particular Chinese brand that is good or bad?
And which is best approach to fermentation? My goals are improved
health, since this tea has been shown to lower cholesterol, and
flavor.
Also, (since I am also posting this to soc.culture...) if the
container lacks any English text, what characters indicate the various
characteristics?
Thanks.

(Just for reference, SCC is an english-language group, and is
currently filled with China haters, the kind that would attack
paralympians in wheelchairs, you know...)
Anyway, to answer your tea question - it all depends on your taste.
Check ebay for price/description, or simply buy some and try them. If
you are lucky enough to have asian style tea shop, go and sample - but
please buy something on your way out.

I'm not being hard on anyone. I just want people to know that this
newsgroup, inappropriately called soc.culture.china, has very little to do
with Chinese culture. The whole place is infested with anti China
instigators like that homo Walsh, who vents his frustrations by condemning
the Chinese government.
