It's been nearly a year since I've looked at Puer prices. I hear the
horror stories about the prices. My local Asian stores unstocked about six months ago even on the CNNP XiaGuan shu and sheng. I saw some yesterday, the 100g sheng and 250g shu was $7 which was always previously around a buck and loose change. Jim |

The tea tastes like a combination of library paste and (I imagine) flower flavored cow manure. Toci |

Wait until next spring when the next new thing is in and the masses will have forgotten about Pu-Ehr. You'll see some desperate selling, and you will see some of those "investment grade" old teas coming out of the closets for good prices too. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

Has anybody noticed a Puer price drop at the online sites like Yunnan
Sourcing or Dragon Tea House? I can't access TaoBao anymore with my crappy internet connection.

Dragon Tea House has lowered some of their prices, as has Scott at Yunnan Sourcing. Vendors here in the states are mostly still selling at the high early summer prices. Jim at Puer Shop is the lowest priced vendor of beengs right now. Shen |

I'm glad I got mine while it was cheap. I'm starting to sample
everything I have. There is no reason to preserve anything since the hour glass could be half empty any minute for all I know statistically. Jim PS My wife found a bike she can handle. I found a trail cutoff that doesn't require me crossing a busy street to get to my local tea shoppe. Double the panache.
