Hi Supermoon,

I think you've misunderstood the shape of puerh what was meant here... it's a pressed ball of puerh, which is quite unlike the rolled dragon pearls common in green & black tea.

Here's an example

 * The edit was done in conjunction with existing tea-venders that confirmed that ball-puer uses the same nomenclature as their counterparts in green and black teas, and that "ball puer"/qiucha is not recognized/as widely used. The change was also indirectly seconded by a Crimson Lotus representative, although I recognize they don't use it on their page.


 * Links to product-sites are mostly blocked, but searching 龙珠普洱 or Dragon Pearl/Ball Puer on taobao.com or aliexpress.com will show what I mean.


 * I am by no means an expert, though. However, the spherical shape and unaligned tealeaves would still indicate a rolling motion (in geology, 'compressed' indicates a more unilateral stress, which would result in an s-tectonite fabric, much like in bingchas).
