Perhaps. But, it has little or nothing to do with tea.

When I spoke of aged Keemun, I was thinking of a year or so, not decades.
Sorry I confused you. I'd imagine a 1940's Keemun would be dead. How about
some nice 1940's or 1950's green Pu'erh cakes? Also, as you say, I never had
to pay great prices for great Keemun.

By the way, when you post a response, please leave some of the original post
for context. That will make it easier for us to know what your refer to.
