Cameron,
It's a good thought. I was burned on a similar purchase (1949) from Rishi
awhile back where the tea turned out to be mediocre at best, actually poor.
I believe that a 1930 pu-erh, well made and well stored, would command much
more than $200.00. My experience is, however, limited, and I'd be happy to
find I'm wrong. Perhaps let's investigate a bit further.
