Puer is such a fascinating tea that you can explore forever and still experience something new. The progression typically is that you start with black puer, then try some green puer, then start experimenting with gongfu preparation. BTW when you find some really good black mini tuocha it WILL have an aftertaste, a hauntingly elusive sweetness that is absolutely wonderful.
