A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ
Story & history
Ask which style
This account describes a tradition or story, rather than an established historical fact.
Sheng pu’er develops during storage without the accelerated pile-fermentation used for shou pu’er. Young sheng can be brisk and astringent; shou is often darker and mellower. These are processing styles, not promises of a particular age or quality.
