Re: When a sheng puer has matured, is it still a sheng cha?

some people say puerh is puerh, a different category as puerh, not anything else. i think this is not correct, because new sheng puerh is absolutely not the kind of dark tea people think when the name of puerh is said. leo’s idea of sheng puerh is lightly oxidised and shu puerh is dark is good idea, but this sofie1212 question makes very good point. i sell sheng puerh over 3 yrs as puerh and newer than 2 yrs as sheng cha. but i cannot really say 3 yrs is a good enough point for the tea to become dark. need many more yrs. how many yrs? i cannot say. some dark faster, others not so fast.
