Puerh tea needs a modern, Western aesthetic to explore. Those two Chinese aesthetics, pre-bust CNNP wrappers with stamps, and post-bust Dayi-, FTM-likes have become stale. I have a lot of respect for what Yunnan Sourcing, white2tea, Crimson Lotus, Bitter Leaf, and Kuura Tea are doing. Not to sound dramatic, I think it's visionary and the direction the market will continue to trend in Europe and North America. So long as the difficult to distinguish and decipher Chinese wrappers persist, puerh consumption won't increase.
