Default Australia

Have fun and enjoy the experience. Don't pay any attention to any
urls encouraging you to leave this group by people who are too lazy to
drive too their local Chinatown and all they know if the webpage has
spinning graphics and makes noises all they want is a virtual Shopping
Cart and let the delivery man find them in suburbia. The other term
you'll see on packaging is Vintage Oolong. Learn the characters for
Puerh because there will be the anonymous waxed paper kilo in the
dried bulk herbal section that the Chinese apothecary sells by the
gram. It won't be cheap and doesn't match any description or taste
you can find here or on any websites. You can satisfy your curiosity
by buying 50g or so from a herbalist. The reason most Puerh in stores
is 100g tins because it is more used as a digestive aid along with the
popular chrysanthemum.
