The flavor of all Dark tea (including puer) evolves over time. This is because there are naturally occurring active micro-organisms in the leaf, which over time act upon the aroma and the flavor of the tea. All dark teas (including puer) can be wonderful when they are "young"; i.e., less than 2 years old. Each year after that, the flavor will get a little richer, deeper, more complex. Many people store dark teas, particularly puers, for years before drinking, because they really enjoy that more fully evolved, more complex, stronger flavor. So feel free to experiment with steeping times and storage times to find the best method to get the flavor you want from your dark tea.
