Praise

While this article lacks the academic rigour to be given a boost on the quality scale, I'd still like to leave feedback here saying that it's an uncommonly informative and thorough article on a tea that is often ignored in English-language connoiseurship literature. Well done. 94.194.213.4 (talk) 22:44, 21 May 2011 (UTC)

Except perhaps for the ridiculous claim that the tea must be brewed in porcelain or Yixing ware. Aside from the fact that the first term means nothing more than fine-grained and vitreous, and that the second term has ceased to have any significant meaning at all, ALL teas benefit from being brewed in containers that do not contribute any taste characteristics (god knows, variation in dissolved minerals and gases in water can affect the taste of tea dramatically without introducing the vagary of a moldy teapot or other sources of organic contaminants), and from not being boiled or steeped interminably. Your suggestion that academic rigor exists in tea tasting is simply laughable.

A bold move...

I don't see why a disambiguation page (Yunnan tea) is neccessary, as Pu-erh isn't exclusively produced in Yunnan, and most tea commercially known as "Yunnan tea" is of the Dian Hong variety.

I have therefore changed the whole article so that it only redirects to "Dian Hong tea". I hope I havn't "overstepped my bounds" here, and I'm sorry if this move offends the original author. Please discuss the issue here, if you think there is still a need for the disambiguation page. --Per Hedetun 22:55, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Picture of Yunnan Tea

A picture of some Yunnan tea, any really, would greatly enchance it. --Iateasquirrel 21:05, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
