Peng Zhe is head of the Xishuangbanna Tea Association. He was also, till last year,  head of the Xishuangbanna Tea Bureau, a post he stepped down from. He is a mine of information on Puer tea and very wise. A man of few words.

Recently, talking over lunch, which of course centred around tea he said   “The great thing about sheng cha is you can’t say anything for sure.”
