I understand that this topic might cause some discomfort or leave a
"bad taste" among Pu-Erh lovers (like myself) but I really like to
share some ideas and information here that might lead to some insight
and/or clarification.

After lengthy discussions on rfdt and elsewhere on all sorts of
possible species of Pu-Erh "kin", namely different strains of fungi,
especially those of the Aspergillus family I´m a bit concerned as to
the general possibilities of Pu-Erh teas containing aflatoxins, one of
the strongest carcinogens known to man.

Just two arbitrary links, millions more on google ...

Any information, thoughts, actual test results highly appreciated.
