There are puerhs that are good and smooth for drinking now and ones
that good for aging, seldom will you find both in the same tea.
Typically, puerhs that are smooth and tasty while young are not the
best candidates for aging. Most puerh wisdom says that good aging
candidates will have a certain strength when young, this strength will
be somewhat harsh when young and this harshness mellows with age.
Smokiness will also generally subside with age. As for the Wood Smoked
puerh I am not sure exactly what your question is. This is not a
typical style that is known for aging potential, however you might
enjoy it if you like smoky teas. If you like Lapsang Souchong then I
would try this as a "drink it now" tea.
