Any good Pu's out there for a reasonable price? Maybe like under $30
or so? Just picked up the IPOT Green Pu-erh brick. If its the same
one I had there a few years ago, I really liked it...

Upton's expanding their puehr line. People who review them seem to
like them. No personal opinion myself. Toci

I like Upton's pu-erh myself. Seems to have been a price rise in the last
month or so, though. :-(

For stuff stateside I would recommend the Mengyang Guoyan Nannuo, the
Rongzhen Nannuo, and the Mengku Arbor King cakes from puerhshop.com,
and the Yi Chang Hao from Houdeasianart.com (this runs at $36.50, but
the cakes are worth the extra $6.50). That is assuming you are
looking for green pu-erh, if you are looking for black pu-erh then you
will have to ask someone else cuz I don't touch the stuff (tried
dozens and dozens over the years and have given up completely).
But those four cakes are all excellent values for their respective
prices. If you start tapping the overseas markets then the Yunnan Tea
Research Institute Nannuo (okay I am a Nannuo Fetishist, the stuff
tastes pretty close to as good as Yiwu stuff and it is invariably much
cheaper) cake from Yunnan Sourcing is good but the price is climbing
pretty fast. Dragon Tea House also has a few Changtai Cakes that are
all tasty (I prefer the jinggu - or jingzu or whatever). Basically
the overseas markets should mostly have all the cakes at under thirty
dollars (mostly), while the stateside stuff is mostly very close to
the thirty dollar mark mostly. Happy Hunting

Seems like you are the master of Pu-erhs! Any advice
on what samples /not/ to get from puerhshop.com? I
want to get as many samples as possible but to avoid
the ones that are definitely not interesting. Thanks!
