Cooked puerh production began in the 1970's. Seems like you got your terms mixed up. Producion of tea from Wild tea trees is so widely known that you make yourself sound a little inexperienced. A collector? You obviously have never actually been to Yunnan Province in China to see puerh production. Maybe try visitng Yunnan provice and see puerh tea production for yourself - you might even get to try some wild tea. That way you might understand the basics before you critisize others.

There was not raw pu erh in the 50's, cooked loose pu erh only started to be developped during that time, and raw mao cha was compressed and not sold loose. I think that they should talk to their source in China because obviously, they do not know pu erh tea. The information about pu erh tea on their website is filled with mistake like the story for tourist: leaves are picked form ancient wild tree deep in the forest :) Real wild ancient tree leaves cannot be used to make pu erh because they are intoxicating. Old tree leaves is another story. One who know pu erh, knows zi sha and beeing a collector myself, I took a look at their selection and found a 90 pounds duan ni yixing teapot which is not duan ni clay but a new type of red clay call orange-red clay. Wrong info on pu erh, wrong info in Yixing teapot, I will pass on the other teas. It is really hard to think that Jing Tea is THE specialist for Chinese tea in the UK!
