Sheng Pu-Erh (Raw)
Unlike Shou, Sheng (生) pu-erh is fermented slowly through a natural ageing process that can take up to seventy years to fully mature. Young Sheng pu-erh (up to 5 years) has a taste reminiscent of strong green tea and is very vitalising. Older Shengs, on the other hand, have a rounded, fruity and ripe taste and a more calming, decelerating character.
