I feel annoyed when the chinese say puerh can only come from yunnan. little elitist dont you think? I mean the tea trees don’t know they’re being grown in china or laos or vietnam or india. nor is it true that its not possible to maintain true standards of making puerh tea(sun drying, microbial fermentation,etc ) in a different country. do the chinese think india doesn’t have higher elevation tea plantations? because in india i know both verities of assamica can be grown. Both lower and higher elevation. we have the terroir, the soil, the old 100-150+ Year old trees I dont under why china has to stick puerh so far up their a**. Are they scared, people will do it better than them or are doing it better than them. i wont say india is doing it better than them because no one is really trying to. but i just feel like china is behaving like america when it comes to puerh tea

So basically there are a group of people who are experimenting with making puerh tea with microbial fermentation in assam india. they are using camellia sinensis assamica which is also native To the region. Growing at an altitude of 200 m. the climate is warm, tropical rainforest and they have 4 yr aged. Do you think i should buy it. I know everyone thinks yunnan when they say puerh tea but this could be well worth it considering the climate and the perfect conditions for aging.

What would if any, be the differences between a puerh aged 6 years and one aged 9 years. Is it worth the subastantial price increase or should i go for the 6 yr old
