Your blog is excellent! I don’t know much about puer or aged tea but I really enjoyed reading about these teas and the historical context.
Hello Anlina, Mr Mopar,
Thank you for the kind words. I’m glad you enjoyed reading the entries.
I find the history of tea to be rich and eventful. Tea is a fascinating subject. From being a highly valued commodity that sparked global demand, it was even used as a form of currency for exchange (tea money), tea’s medicinal and health properties have been recorded in old literature that dates back over a thousand years, such is tea’s influence on trade it has been connected with causing international wars, the enslavement of large populations and at the same time creating untold wealth, maintaining health and contributing to mental clarity and enlightenment as part of religious rituals and meditation.
All in the name of tea :)
Best, Varat
