It's a myth among pu'er drinkers that when the tea gets really old that
some insects can get inside of the tea and then die. Some people say
worms...some people say moths. In my experience, I've never seen it in
reality; only in some old men's rambling fables (usually in Cantonese).
heh.

I found a small stone in one of my bricks of 2004 "1336th Anniversary
of the Thai Calendar" that I bought via Ebay on Mike Petro's recco.
I'm kind of ticked ... it's got to weigh at least a gram, which means I
got 249 grams of tea in this brick, tops.

Oh well ... I just tell myself it's my "lucky puer stone". Maybe I'll
get it tumbled/polished and put it on a chain someday. I just hope I
don't find more stones in the other three bricks ... won't find out for
at least ten years.
