This is the second time you have made this statement and I am very
confused by it. I have many books in my collection that are published
in China that document many famous sheng puers that are NOT made by
Menghai Tea Factory or Xiaguan Tea Factory. I have samples of several
of these in my own collection. Why do you say they are not *real*
puerh?

I guess the first question I must ask in order to understand would be:
What is your definition of real puerh? Please tell us what makes a
puerh real in your opinion?

I do agree that many sheng puerhs are not suitable for aging,
particularly the ones that have a high percentage of tea buds. They are
sweeter and meant to be drank right away.

Evryone has their own favorite teas, while I prefer puerh the most, I
also like Japanese greens particularly Shincha, other Blacks like Lui
An, and even some Red teas like a good Dian Hong.
