No Puer investment, this

Ng says her company only sourced Puer tea from 100-year-old trees from well-known areas.

Quality Puer tea is worth its weight in gold, with appreciation in value generating annual returns on investment of up to 15%. And with initial capital outlay for the trade being relatively low, young people are getting into the business, writes DAVID TAN.

OVER the last five years, the raw Puer tea trade has attracted a lot of young entrepreneurs below the age of 40 into the business, what with the steady appreciation in the value of the fermented and aged dark tea generating 10% to 15% return on investment yearly.
