Dayi, HaiWan or BoYou puerh shous should brew dark like coffee in color. Those are probably the best factories that I personally like for shou.
Aged sheng will get darker but not as dark as shou but generally more expensive for the sheng.

Re: Introduce Yourself
Hi Deli,
Welcome. Sounds like you are a two timer.
Coffee and tea. I kind of do the same thing. Glad to have you.

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking
Way too rich for my blood the last few years pricing. I can buy aged teas cheaper than the new ones.. Yes, the last few years' (close to a decade) prices have been insane and I don't know anyone buying those teas for drinking... Still, I think some of the earlier ones are worth the prices they comm...

Re: The best sheng pu-er tea to try
How do you know which tea to buy? How did you learn all those intricacies of buying a good genuine tea? By drinking lots of tea, good and bad and most importantly being guided by the right people. Only thing you can do is to invest a lot of time and money, sample wide and deep and go from there. Th...

Re: What is all the fuss around Red / Yellow / Green Marks?
I think that was around 2007 ( puerh fever times ) when Zhong Cha offered kinda " packaging franchise " , if that can be called like that. Basically if you pay money they asked , you could use their wrapping ( their label ) for your own products . I don't know how it exactly worked back then but fr...

Re: Raw Pu-erh from 2020 costs more than Raw Pu-erh from 2016
I agree with Bok about aet. Very humble and a good source of quality teas. Essence of Tea is also nice to answer your question about them. Vendors with boots on the ground are good places to start Sample, sample and sample some more. Realize Spring harvest is always more and the influx of buyers in ...

Re: Types of sheng
Puerh can be a personal experience. Everyone gets different notes and feels off it. We are all unique in our bodies and I think that is why the experience can vary. Well stored sheng and honing in on the areas you like can be a guide to you. All the different areas turn out different notes in the te...

Camphor sheng from LP. Has camphor in spades. Been a long time since I had one this upfront with it. Think Tiger Balm all day long.

Re: What Pu'er Are You Drinking
Having some YiWu from TeaJunky. Stored loose and pressed in 2018. Very different profile. Has some darker notes hard to put a finger on but very reminiscent of the 2006 YiWu that TeaUrchin carried years ago. Not wet but a sweeter almost vanilla note from it. Nice leaf size on it as well. Going to co...
