Everyone interested in #puer #tea is familiar with the idea that plantation tea (taidicha) doesn’t taste good and is loaded with nasty agricultural chemicals, that what you should drink instead comes from old/tall/wild trees.
This article says the taidicha=evil idea is way out of date, that plantation tea practices are much better than 20 years ago, and so is the result in the cup: https://deadleaves.club/2018/06/03/what-is-good-plantation-tea-translated-article/
To the extent that this is true, it’s big news.
