great article, thanks TwoDog and sherubtse!
As fine pu’er has come to be seen as a luxury item, like wine or jewelry, a heftier price tag has come to signify higher value, whether or not it’s a superior product.
how often that is the case :roll:

it’s possible the pu’er money will slow to a trickle before Lao Dah has time to complete his fourth home.
No one here seems to think that, right?

hmm.. unpredictable but still based on the trend on all the various slowdowns in the chinese market.. it could be possible

anyways pu-erh had made a lot of farmers very rich, similarly, many vendors as well. all are in the hype and trend just to make tea dollars from consumers 8) just a matter on who's louder or appealing sometimes.
