Many green pu'er enthusiasts will generally age their stock for at least 5 to 10 years before consumption. As the tea matures the color darkens with age.Ageing is a common element associated with green pu'er, especially with young teas that contain ferocious tannins resulting in harsh and raw characters. The benefit of ageing helps remove the less desirable flavors found in a young tea while introducing more desirable flavors and mellowness. Ageing is a time consuming process and one that can not be easily accelerated. The maturation of green pu'er can be profound and involves extensive changes to its flavors and aromas as well as to the body and texture of the tea. A well aged antique tea will come to possess a soft and mellow body with a uniquely smooth and silky mouth feel.
In China, having a green pu'er tea collection is the pride of the Chinese people. Tea collections for many Chinese are formed out of personal enjoyment. However with the steep rise in value of pu'er tea in recent years many collections have been started as a future investment
