The Song Dynasty poet Wang Yu sang the praises of Pu'er in verse, describing how he was reluctant to drink it, wanting to leave it for his parents to drink to extend their lives Surprisingly, this is remarkably similar to what many modern tea lovers say today!
宋朝詩人王禹詠嘆普洱的詩中就提到：「愛惜不嘗惟恐盡，除將供養白頭親」﹘﹘自己捨不得喝，只想留起來讓父母喝了延年益壽，這和許多現代茶迷的說法居然如出一轍！
