Greg,

I agree about drinking fresh green, oolong, white tea, yellow..But, for
black tea, that is, if you are talking about real black tea, the older
the better for some of them.

If you are referring to red tea in fact, then i would suggest you to
try an aged zheng shan xiao zhong (lapsang souchong) and a fresh one.
The aged one is much better.

They are some green tea that are better aged, such as raw pu erh (which
is more valuable than cooked pu erh) or another green tea that is
unknown to the west called koo loo tea from Guangdong province.
