This wasn't a green Puerh. Sometimes American stores aren't sure what kind of Puerh they have and when they don't know it's likely to be cooked or ripe. A real green, young Puerh wouldn't turn black if you steeped it for hours. I know because I do that with my own. Toki’s right. This wasn’t a green Puerh.

Thanks for sharing this experiment Eric. I am due for a trip to Tea Leaves myself at some point in the near future (LOVE browsing their teapot selection), and might pick up some of those mini tuocha myself while I'm there... Interesting!

Specially cooked puerh imo. Looking at the brew color, it will take a raw puerh at least *15-20yrs to develop that dark and dates quality. The easiest way to see it is from the price. *Aged raw will cost around $200+ per pound in the Western market. Eric-Rinsing puerh or another aged/dark tea is always recommended.

I used to do this, but have become increasingly slack. Would you recommend that for any pu-erh, Toki? Interesting you mention that the colour and tasting notes seem to indicate it's a cooked puerh. There was quite little info to go off with this tea, so it's something of a blind experiment. I'm not familiar enough with puerh to be able to pick the cooked from the raw ? yet:) I didn’t rinse it.

Hope you did rinse the tea before brewing? The color and your tasting notes refected a cooked pu instead. T Wonderful experience! Hope you did rinse the tea before brewing?

Thought it was very photogenic as well! Yeah, I was pretty interested to see how much the colours changed. Thought it was very photogenic as well!

And I must say I'm extremely jealous of those black and white cups. Wow, the color difference is really neat to see. Amazing how time has such an effect on tea color and taste.
