this is very typical of an 'real' asian tea shop. i should say
cultural instead of real though.

i would be careful about buying the old puers, 30 years and up. so
many fakes...
i buy puers but i dont like to buy over the 20 year mark, of course
that doesnt mean i wont drink them if they are offered, heheheheh. i
forgot the break-off point. but i have heard many times that any teas
claiming to be ching dynasty would be over 90 years old, back then it
was not common for folks to keep teas long unless of royalty or nobles.
and for Cultural Revolution 1966-1976, lots of things got lots...
