Is young sheng puerh "best" for health?
Or does it have better properties when aging?

The only puer that has a medicinal effect on me is shu. I drink it
after every evening meal to settle the stomach. At one point I drank
my share of sheng. I could feel a narcotic numbing effect on my
brain. My tongue felt irritated. I could tell this tea was on
steroids. If you read the Puer groups I think there is a growing
consensus that too much is not good. One translation for sheng is
'raw'. It is picked in a tropical area and after drying steamed into
cakes. It makes sense to let the bacteria fauna work on the tea over
a period of time instead of you. If I was drinking tea for heath
benefits then I would not limit myself to one. I dont consider myself
all that healthy after drinking tea for all my life. However I do
believe I could be in worse shape if I didnt. I am drinking a white
tea with mangousteen which is the latest health rage in the US. I go
by the taste which seems to compliment the tea. If it is curing me of
something it didnt cost me anything extra. If you drink tea for
medicine youll find something to replace it.

PS At one point in time I was drinking shu as thick as soup. Now it
is thin made with half gram of shu. Its amazing how much taste you
get with so little.

I don't think anyone really knows. There's lots of talk about this
topic, but much of it is just guesswork and much of it is advertising.

Why not try various kinds of Pu'er and see for yourself how you feel?

OK, I will try. Though it is not easy to know what is best for one's
health for the long-term!

I thought the process of aging (for a sheng) or cooking (to produce
a shu) might alter the healthy properties of the raw sheng puerh.
But maybe, as you say, nobody really knows and it depends on the
initial quality of the puerh...

Ah, I did not know that. So it would be recommended not to drink
sheng puerh once a day but only a few times a week/month.

You're right. Moderation and diversification are the best.
Maybe drinking and alternating several kinds of tea (white, green,
red, wu-long, etc. from different countries) should be the right
thing to do.

Thanks again for your interesting answer!

Probably, but to what effect? I don't think anyone knows.

Don't forget the moon phase!

Yep, you're right!
And the season the leaves are picked.

And the quality of the water used (the best would probably be the one
of a spring near the plantation...).
And...

Right, they're different, though one season might not necessarily be
better than another.

Definitely. But once again, I'm not sure one water's better than
anothere for all teas.

Well, that's a tradition, but so is monkey picking.
