Too many neckbeards here clogging up the sub with their opinions, whilst never actually trying any quality tea.

White2tea is trash, stop advertising your garbage.

Looking around here, on facebook, on discord there are so many armchairs experts that make grand theories on teas they never drank. And they never tried real gushu or real old puerh, never been to asia, never drank with more experts drinkers. They think the modern productions full of pesticide are gushu and that 1980s cakes should cost $20 and that loose tea is definitely "puerh from the 1950s".
Typical of today's society, a lot of noise and extremely little substance. So many wrong views and the more confidently stated, usually the more wrong they are.

If one wants to learn puerh there's no other way than trying for oneself various teas, ways of brewing, teaware, and ideally drink with others that have some experience

All the companies mentioned on this thread are heavy on tea with tons of pesticides, or when its organic/clean it's cheap plantation stuff.
farmer leaf and essence of tea are one small step above, but there's still much better around.
however the best tea vendors are either controversial and/or too small for most people to know about

my main point is there are a lot of "armchair experts" that are so sure about what they say, and they spew all sort of crazy opinions about tea they haven't even tried (at best, they've tried it but haven't tried anything similar so they still very little idea what they're talking about)

the point is not you must go to asia or even drink that much premium puerh.
It's that if you don't, stop shouting your baseless opinions regurgitating text you've read before without really understanding the subject. Otherwise it's just an echo chamber of meaninglessness.
