Thanks!

There is some questions about Moonlight Whites (Yue Guang Bai)/ White Peonies because they do still ferment. http://wildteaqi.com/is-moonlight-white-tea-puer-or-white-tea/

Are they puerh? I’m not an expert, I’d imagine they don’t ferment/taste like a raw dayi in 7 years, but I dunno?

One might also wonder what the point is in pressing various teas into cake form. If someone had tried a lot of different versions they would get a feel for what changes in doing that, although it would be hard to completely factor out quality levels and version differences. Any input on that as well? It does relate to the original point, related to which of these types and links would be best to follow up.

One part of the idea is that white tea will also age well, isn’t it, not in the same form as pu’er but still the tea would improve over time. There is a standard saying about white teas being “medicine” at one age, then improving further later (which I’ve quote in a blog post, but don’t remember now); how would this relate to changes in an oolong or black tea?

1 year is tea, 3 years is medicine, 10 years is treasure ;)
