Hi folks

I was wondering if the black pu-erh mushrooms from Holy Mountain are
cooked pu-erh - for the price and color I can't imagine they're not,
though the taste of ths stuff is so much better than any cooked pu-erh
I've ever had.

I too find some cooked Puerhs pretty delightful.

It looks to me like they have both
(http://www.holymtn.com/tea/pu-erhtea.htm):

P-TMP-1a Tibetan Mushroom Pu-erh
P-TMP-2a Green Tibetan Mushroom Pu-erh

Do you know which you have?

Ben, "cooked/black/ripe/shu" are all synonymous when it comes to puer.
So yes it could be called "cooked" also. There are many black puers
that are quite tasty, there are 10 times more that are just mediocre.
There are several vendors who stock the black mushroom so shop around
and enjoy...

I believe that one would be black/cooked, given, as Mike points out, the
"ripe" in the description, and given that the other
Tibetan Mushroom they have is definitely green/uncooked.

I was wondering about what you guys were talking about with "cooked".
The shu-pu pu'er is the cooked version, and the sheng-pu version is
the uncooked one?

I prefer shu-pu better than shengpu even though the latter is how it
was traditionally prepared as told to me by some merchants. I
supposedly have some 12 year old sheng-pu that's decent, but it still
has that wild taste to it, if you know what I mean.

You got it. The term "cooked" seems to be popular in Guangdong as 2
different vendors who live there, and cater to the US, use the term.
Most of the guys I talk to in Kunming use the English term "ripe". Few
westerners recognize the term "shu".

I see. I haven't heard of it that way before. I lived in Dongguan,
Guangdong for about 6 months and often only heard shu/sheng...but,
then again, I dealt with shopkeepers that couldn't speak English.
heh.

Do you prefer the sheng or the shu-pu?

Under the table. I may have been wrong in this, but I didn't mention
it because he wasn't getting any of the tea.

Isn't that called in English "to add insult to injury"? Not being invited
is one thing, but being kept under the table and deprived of tea? Do you
gentlemen, prefer swords or duel pistols? If you allow me Macedonian
shooting I can face you both at once.
