Sheng pu-erh can be roughly classified as a green tea, and the shou or aged-green variants as post-fermented tea. Unlike other teas that should ideally be consumed shortly after production, pu-erh can be drunk immediately or aged for many years; pu-erh teas are often classified by year and region of production much like wine vintages. While tea connoisseurs prefer the oldest cakes, of compacted tea (or Tea Bricks), Pu-erh tea is available as loose leaf blends.
