The red jujube Pu



Puerh get stranger if you start having date or jujube on the label....
This was a gift from a very respectable elder in Hong Kong. Notice the white dots flowing around the surface?
Mold, fungus or bugs! Taste really like dates and Chinese medicine, and the brews keep getting darker. Highly praised by the elderly, but unfortunately, not my cup of tea.

My wife is Taiwanese and we are always having her folks send us various Chinese medicines...here in Kyushu such shops just don't carry the real thing - as she tells me.

You know, I have come across a couple nice items here - I have lived in Saga, Kurume, and currently in Fukuoka - there is one place in Dazaifu, a fellow spins pots and plenty of other items - he is located on the main road heading up to the shrine in Dazaifu - I searched for a good blog/pic of the place - however came up empty handed...I have a video on my site, however the post number escapes me at the moment...will be in touch.
