Default Preferred Pu-erh and Superior Pu-erh Imperial Tea Court?

Yes. I agree. Both seemed well aged and cooked. I was just wondering
about their heritage. I do know that it is very difficult to get exact
information from Mr. Fong and within a previous discussion on this
board I have learned to leave that alone.
My curiousity was more specific, I suppose: what factory, trees etc.
I am also learning that the enjoyment I get from these teas may well be
enough (LOL!).
Thank you.
