...This lush corner of Yunnan province in China's south is home to one of the world's hottest teas. Puer tea may not look like much - it is typically sold in heaps resembling cow patties - but one mug of these aged leaves can fetch up to $1,000. The drink is touted for its health benefits and is loved for its light, earthy taste.

The influx of well-off young people has been controversial. The Lower East Side Jewish Conservancy derisively calls the changes "hipification" and "Yupification...
