Puerh Cha Article - White Pu-erh Tea (2)	Page 1 | 2

The ageing potential of white Pu-erh tea is a topic that is often discussed amongst Pu-erh collectors. The discussions revolve around 2 popular theories. Some believe that the delicate and light character of white Pu-erh is not suited for long term ageing. As the years roll by there is a concern that its character will quickly fade away, leaving behind a bland and tasteless husk of tea. Others who are more optimistic carry the belief that a profound transformation will take place, much in the way of green Pu-erh tea - thus resulting in the emergence of more complex and powerful characters that would positively galvanize the tea to a higher plateau. However it is best to keep in mind that these are simply assumptions and the fact remains that no one really knows how this young tea will age and develop over a long period of time. It is only with time that the answer to this mystery will eventually be revealed.
