      I still gotta try puer!

      Right now for oolong I've just got one dark, nutty tasting oolong and a lighter floral sort of one. I like the latter far more.

        Puer is like a drug, so be prepared to let it rule your tea life if you go down that road. Nothing compares to a deep, soupy, black ripe puer.

        That said, if you like floral oolongs you should look into Anxi Tieguanyins. They're fantastically floral with a really complex aroma and lovely light colour!

        EDIT: Realized I forgot to recommend KuuraCorp. If you're looking to get into puer they press wonderful raw and ripe puer tea cakes, and they're explicitly anti-capitalist (as far as corporations can be). Great org. Their justification for existence is the following:

        KUURA is primarily the passion project of one individual, created as a natural progression of excessive consumption of puer tea. All 'businessess' exist for a reason, usually to create profits. For sure, this company exists as a way to earn a livelihood, but the primary directive is to find and secure teas that we personally want to drink. The selling and sharing is because, like everyone else, we are held hostage by capitalism, and the constant need to pay rent, eat food, and go about our life. We long for a day where we can just share and drink tea in free association, and not have to sell it. For now, we too must be bastards and try to sell you products, to keep the machine going. Sorry about that.
