Do not get your hopes up, I am still more or less hopeless feeling on a lot of Young Sheng Puerh. I do not think it is horrible, I do actually enjoy it occasionally, but sadly that occasionally is once or twice a month, which at this rate means my young sheng currently on hand will last likely over 5 more years.
Aged sheng is very very nice, and while everyone has a different idea of what qualifies aged sheng, I start to like it when its been stored in somewhat traditional setting for a little over 10 years. Yet the only puerh I have had older than mid 90's has come in the form of loose puerh, it is still very enjoyable. It doesn't hurt that I caved and got that lovely little yixing pictured above which seems to be working wonderfully with aged sheng, so sadly for my pocket book, it looks like I will need to keep some aged sheng on hand so I can occasionally feed this wonderful teapot.
I am also considering getting back into Tea Reviews, but only make it a once or twice a week post so my blog doesn't get over run with tea reviews.

I've only recently started drinking Pu'er teas and have yet to get good at brewing them. I actually have a very similar looking Yixing, but I use it for oolong teas and don't want to use the same one for pu'er. I guess I should just get another one...
Only get another one if you are sure you will drink that type of tea often enough to warrant actually having one. It took me a long time to get one for aged puerh as it took me awhile to realize I do really enjoy drinking aged puerh, somewhat often.
