Thank you for your kind feedback, Fatima! I'm wanting to explore the topic more in the future — hopefully, I can share new findings before too long.

I think there might be a small mistake here: location is in fact one of the parameters when using the 'All Members' directory.

Thank you, Nikol! How very nice, it would be fascinating to look into how and when puer tea found its way to places all around the world.  
It is important to note, though, that it is not so much tea culture itself that has only recently been invented: it has millenia-old history in China. But when it comes to the kind of ceremony—often referred to as gongfu—that is associated with Chinese tea culture today, it is indeed but an amalgam of different traditional brewing methods. The key is to realise that it is only one way of drinking it and is not at all representative, especially not from a historical point-of-view. : )
