Counterfeiting and authenticity concerns
The premium and collectible segments have experienced recurring concerns over counterfeit packaging, false age claims, disputed provenance, and misrepresented storage. These problems are market-wide risks rather than evidence that all Pu'er products are fraudulent.
Speculation and price volatility
Periods of strong speculation have pushed prices for selected teas far above ordinary consumption value, followed by corrections and reduced confidence. Price alone is not a reliable measure of drinking quality or authenticity.
