I've recently been drinking some Liu An, packed by Silk Road Teas,
from a sample a friend was good enough to send me. I've been enjoying
enough that my curiosity's been stimulated.

I've heard that this is a green tea that's been aged, but it looks
nothing like "green" Puerhs: the leaves are very dark. But the taste
of the batch I'm drinking from reminds me of a heavily roasted
oolong. So I wonder: is Liu An a *roasted* aged tea? If anyone
knows, I'm also curious if the roasting (assuming that does happen) is
done when the tea is still young, or if it only happens later.

P-LA-99, P-LAS-01?

Sorry about the delay, but my friend has been out of email contact
recently. It's the P-LA-99.
