Fun tea day (Pu-erh content)

I enjoyed the sample of hunan that came with an order from Generation
also.
Mike's wrong-fu method works well here.

I snagged a tong of green bings to hide in the closet.
I am getting smarter now and order an extra one loose so I don't have
to open the stack.

Something funny...

A lady commented to her tea teacher, "I have brewing aged pu'er every night
for my husband, he has high blood pressure you see, and I hope the tea will
help."

"Is it effective?" asked the tea teacher.

"Oh, it's too early to tell," the lady replied. "I brew the first & second
rounds for him all the time, so that the he can absorb the best properties."

"Huh?! & the other brews?"

"Oh that, I use it as footbath, it is really relaxing, you know."

I would recommend that you get three cups. For the first two rounds, pour
them into 2 cups for each round. Start drinking from the third round, and
continue to the 5th.

Increase your steeping time on the GYG on the 6th to about 2 minutes, and in
the mean time, while the taste of the 'cleaner' rounds are on your palate,
taste the 1st and 2nd rounds. This will tell you how far well or poorly
stored the tea is.

Rinse your mouth after that, and enjoy the 6th, till you have exhausted the
tea. When the liquor becomes pale and flavour thins out, put a clean pot
with 1 cup of water to the boil. Throw in the used the leaves. When the
water boils up again, turn off the power, then the water cool off slightly,
and enjoy the tea.

What should one be aware when tasting this? What telltale
characteristics indicate poor storage?
