Pu Erh is so wonderful. It is like taking a stroll through a northern forest in autumn.
1 word of advice: buy a wooden cup. Never wash it with soap, only boiling water and use it ONLY for your pu-erh. After a few months you'll see just how wonderful it will taste.

I discovered this stuff about six months ago - it has now completely replaced coffee for me. Wonderful. Smells like mahogany and rich earth, tastes like dirt, but in a good way, if that makes any sense. Don't be frightened off by the high price of some of these; the dirt-cheap ones are quite good. Also, I'm talking about the ripened kind here; the green variety I don't like, personally.

If you like black teas, tuocha is probably the best black tea I've ever had. There are some versions with flavorings (jasmine, etc) but I've only had the unflavored black so far. Its really earthy, makes me think of expensive mushrooms (chanterelle, morel, etc)

I use Yixing tea pot, it's wonderfully sweet. : )

"...tastes like dirt, but in a good way, if that makes any sense. " That part made me laugh, I know exactly what you mean.
Why break the whole bing and put in jars? Why not just break off the piece you are going to use? Is there some point to this or is it just more practical and convenient? I have a nice piece of Pu'er tea; a 2005 Menghai raw bing. I take pieces off the bing, then put back the rest of the broken bing to my storing place. But maybe it's more practical to do like in this video if you drink it very often.

You can do it either way. People will often separate the bing and put the larger leaf clumps and the dust into separate containers. Then when brewing it they will add some of each to the gaiwan or pot.
