Mira, Puer tea is definitely an interesting tea. I also enjoy the world of tea: so many varieties!
Puer tea sounds interesting. It's funny how it's oxidized and yet still has important health benefits. I believe in learning and sampling many kinds of tea. Apparently it's better than other teas at fighting body fat.
