Stateside Mao Puerh

Any good US sources especially for the wild long leaf variety? If you have some anyway what do you think of the brew? Does it compare to any sheng you have? Is it comparible to other green teas from Yunnan or a special case? If I didnt ask the right questions just tell me what you think.

PS My golden buddha hand doesnt hold up to multiple infusions. However there is something refreshing in the taste when it is long gone. The leaf instantly dries out after the last drop. It is the perpetual sunbrew. Just add cold water for another cup.

When you say mao puerh, you mean Pu'er maocha, right?

I'm sorry, but I haven't bought any of this in the USA for a year, so it wouldn't be useful to recommend anything specific.

It varies, like any other genre of tea.

Yes, indeed. I know that some people believe that compression makes all the difference with this kind of tea, but I couldn't honestly claim that from my limited experience.

It *should* be a special case because its processing is supposed to be different from that of green tea. But sometimes it does taste like green tea, even if it's compressed, which makes you wonder if they manufactured it "correctly".
