This is not the 2011 tea, but from the first order in 2009. I am taking a new picture to track the change of the tea.
The original picture taken in May 2009.
The attached were the new pictures taken today 8-Jun-2011. This sample was stored in the office, so the year-round temp & humidity change is very limited. The lack of clear seasonal change is NOT good for the aging of puer tea. Judging from the color, there isn't really much change (aging) in the last two years.

My plan is to keep this piece as a sample for track change (aging) over the years. I will try to take picture once every 1 or 2 years to see the changes. In order to have accurate color, I am keeping the technical data here as well.
