Puer tea has been grown for centuries in the "Six Great Tea Mountains" of Yunnan Province, and in imperial China it was a prized commodity, traded to Tibet by horse or mule caravan via the so-called Tea Horse Road and presented as tribute to the emperor in Beijing. In the 1990s, as the tea's noble lineage and unique process of aging and fermentation were rediscovered, it achieved cult status both in China and internationally. The tea became a favorite among urban connoisseurs who analyzed it in language comparable to that used in wine appreciation and paid skyrocketing prices. In 2007, however, local events and the international economic crisis caused the Puer market to collapse.
Puer Tea traces the rise, climax, and crash of this phenomenon. With ethnographic attention to the spaces in which Puer tea is harvested, processed, traded, and consumed, anthropologist Jinghong Zhang constructs a vivid account of the transformation of a cottage handicraft into a major industry-with predictable risks and unexpected consequences.

张静红的《生熟有道:普洱茶的山林、市井与江湖》脱胎于其博士论文,后者曾以《Puer Tea: Ancient Caravans and Urban Chic》为题于2004年出版。在增补后者未尽之意的基础上,作者又做补充,才有当前该书之面貌。总体而言,《生熟有道》一书以阿尔君·阿帕杜莱(Arjun Appadura...

这是一本以不同的实践考察和诸多文献研究得出的论文。应该说本书的考虑时间段比较长,实践里的考量,操作的呈现较多,较丰富。对于普洱茶的储藏爱好者来说是一本好书 尽管稍有些乏味。

田野很扎实,但确实很多普洱知识和历史也没太超过我以往的认知。

中国的“江湖"概念以及multiple, interactive authenticities, 好玩。目前的翡翠贸易大概也是类似情况吧, 不过尝试制定和推行"标准"的不再是regional/state government,而是以普适性作为口号的宝石学和矿物学。以及作为广东人,很好奇有没有人做“陈皮”的研究啊~~
