Drink now, or wait?
Three real inputs — category, pressing year, storage climate — run through the aging bands documented in young sheng — drink now or wait?, dry storage — the Kunming standard and traditional wet storage. Not a lab test — a field read.
Result
This is a synthesis of published aging bands, not a measurement of the actual cake in front of you — condition, leaf material and processing all shift the timeline. Use it as a starting read, not a verdict.

宫廷普洱

Lǎo chá tóu
老茶头
The dense, pectin-rich clumps that form naturally inside a wò duī pile — once discarded as a by-product, now sold on their own for a thick, sweet cup that shrugs off a heavy hand with the leaves.

Dà jīn yá shú pǔ'ěr
大金芽熟普洱
Large, downy buds with a reddish-gold sheen — a commercial grade sorted for size and visual impact rather than the delicacy Gong Ting is sorted for, and priced accordingly.
