Daily drinkers to outrageously expensive collectibles, complicated tasting notes, storage conditions, aging, development of flavors over time, specific serving temperatures, vintages, profiles associated with regions, and sought-after producers. Puer is a fermented Chinese tea and the process of buying, storing , and drinking it is remarkably similar to wine. It has profiles ranging from wet forest floor, bitter, super funky (and I mean funky), to mellow, smooth, herbal, minerality, and infinite descriptors in between.
