Recently read this from aet's blog, which got me thinking:
https://www.pageoftea.com/the-truth-abo ... -black-tea
Very trendy marketing strategies are popping out from every 2nd shop. The one of the funniest one is “Dan Zhu Hong or Pu-erh tea” ….tea from one tree. So I just asked tea boss whether he can distinguish if the tea comes from 1 or 2 trees After few more “itchi” questions he turned to be more honest
Is single tree really possible?
It's funny that author of that post also sells single tree!

Yes, I'm the author of the blog and I have uploaded the product on our website ( online shop ) . I also honestly wrote that we mixed those bags because it's just too hassle to pres 1.3kg , then 2.2kg, then 1.8kg...end so on.
"
Maocha came in separate bags . We decided to mix them all together in order to get an unique product. "
The product doesn't come from our brand but my wife relatives , who decided to print Dan Zhu on the wrapper despite it is not а single tree product.
I was being honest and then it results kick on forum like this
........fair enough, my bad.
The puer Dan Zhu is concept which works in loose leaf and pressed if some private order. Hardly for resell in shop , unless some VIP material in luxury tea-shop ( nowadays many trying to look like that ) .
And thanks for pointing out this product, I've should have thought about this and made it more clear.
I put an additional info to explain that we respect the name chosen by producer despite
it's not being a Single Tree product.
I have also modified the sentence which might suggest we are the producers "We decided to mix them all together " ( it was because I was helping with mixing ) .
Hope it helps to clear up our name a bit.
Should you have more comments to some doubtful claims on our website, please contact me directly ( or via website email ) before posting it on some forums.
I do modify / edit our online shop ( mainly descriptions ) along the way I'm learning about the business and tea here ( as I update our blog ) . It's not that long time ago , we had tea tree age ( actual years claim ) written on some Gushu stuff ( I it took all down , hope haven't missed somewhere ) .
At the beginning we also had in many puer description stuff like " tea has a good / powerful Qi " and that kinda BS , which I believed that time was cool to have.
So thanks again for this " kick " , but I would really appreciate private contact first in order to avoid some misunderstandings which might occur in threads like this.
Thanks for understanding and following our blog!
