Might suggest starting with the wikipedia article on puerh--it's nicely done. Also, Pue-erh, a westerner's quest is frequently cited here and elsewhere as a good resource. And then, pick a couple of puerh vendors (check the nominees in the puerh vendor topic as well as the officially linked vendors, as this topic has not been updated for a very long time), order a bunch of small samples from a couple of vendors, and play with the teas, reporting back in this topic to get more feedback & suggestions.Suteishi wrote: threads or something that can help me get into the world of puerh.

They're tuocha from Xiaguan Tea Factory (下关茶厂 starting at the third character from the left on the bottom) . Beyond that, that's a very common wrapper style. A real wrapperologist might be able to tell you something, especially because of that stamp on the one on the left (which might say 'shu'?), but really, it's hard to tell exactly when this tea is from or how much it's worth based on the wrapper's appearance. There are teas that look this way which are worth $1-2 US at most, and others which could be worth somewhat more.DarkenedSun wrote:Ok, These were a present so I have no idea what they are. Anyone wanna help me in identifying these tuocha? CNNP...?

Well, I doubt they are worth a whole lot.... The person who gave them to me is not the richest person. At least I know where they are from...
