Site-Wide Activity › Forums › Foreign Language Board › Info on a Pu-Erh
I was in Switzerland to see an old friend and she told me that while travelling in Asia for work, she had been given a Pu-Erh but she has no info on it (when, what,… how long should it mature?).
Here is a link to pictures I made (https://picasaweb.google.com/115821121098456862741/PuErh?authuser=0&authkey=Gv1sRgCID96NqKlM-11AE&feat=directlink).
I told her that you were the best of the best. ,)
Ha ha, we may be the best of the best but nobody aside from @gingkoseto speaks any Chinese language. Wait, @tea-author does. Warren, are you able to shed any light on this Pu’er?

So basically, it’s a shu brick tea puerh, of 500g, from a regionally branded tea company based in Kunming. Where the material comes from – the packaging doesn’t say.
They list their brand store in a tea market – seems like it’s a small company.
Any idea on how long my friend should wait before she begins drinking it?
@xavier It’s one of those fully-cooked puerhs, not the raw (sheng) kind, so your friend could drink it anytime. Aging it is not going to make any difference.
@tea-author Thanks.
