Does anyone know of a respectable Pu-Er vendor in the DC area or
(preferably) the MD suburbs of DC? I am on the cusp of venturing into
the world of Pu-Er and although I have read about Pu-Er online, I would
like to see and smell and touch (and taste!) the tea in person before
plunking down the considerable amount of change that is required to
purchase even the most basic of beengs. I have tried TenRen's loose
leaf version, from a Rockville, MD shop, but I am interested in cakes,
golden melons, bricks, tuochas and all of the other compressed
varieties--plus I am most interested in tasting a green Pu-Er and I am
not sure it is available in loose leaf.

Any information would be appreciated!
