>i think they ferment it inside of cloth sacks instead of piled up on the floor.
where did you hear that? i am pretty sure that golden puerh is made mostly from the buds and tips (just like a golden black tea or silver needles). also my understanding is that cloth sack or bin style pile fermenting is a newer technique intended to allow you to ferment smaller batches so you can experiment with higher grade material without excessive risk. traditional wet pile fermenting requires a lot of material so that you can build the piles big enough to ferment properly. W2T and farmer leaf have both talked about it.
