Thanks for the book recommendation - puerh literature is very difficult
to get in English.

I was aware of the puerh bubble but I didn't know that people were
wiped out financially. It would be interesting to see how and why,
especially seeing the kinds of prices that good 10+ year old puerh can
fetch these days.
