Sheng vs Shou
Sheng 生 Puerh 普洱 is the original style of Puerh production, literally meaning Raw or Alive also referred to as unripe. Sheng Puerh, production allows aging to happen naturally to pressed cakes typically 10-15 years+, where Shou 熟 (lit. ‘cooked’ also known as ‘ripe’) puerh speeds the process by intentional fermentation or “rippening” of the tea leaves, like in aging cheese.
