Re: So why was the pu illegal anyway?

Well-wishing but ignorant minds of US Customs beurocrats decided to protect
the public against being fooled into buying "spoiled" tea.
But because "spoiled" and "fermented" are different sides of the same
process....
Anything that looked weird and/or smelled of fermentation was considered
spoiled (these cunning Chinese!). That is how Puer was outlawed. Clinton
administration for some reason was more advanced in the field of weird
smells (perhaps the result of sexual sophistication) or may be that Oriental
friend of Clinton (restaurant owner, remember?) introduced Bill to the magic
of puerh. One way or another Customs were educated and puer liberated.
