Both are wonderful and the raw is definitely the more desirable one once it gets about 20 years on it, but you need to be prepared for the peculiar flavor from either. Most aged raw pu-erh have interesting medicinal flavors to them whereas ripe pu-erh is just a full embracing of the earthy quality that a lot of teas have. I like both, but I understand that it would be an acquired taste for most.

I will say, if you ever get a ripe pu-erh that has a slightly "off" aroma, or a fishiness to the smell of the dried leaves, you may want to give it a few quick rinses with hot water from your kettle. Just enough to cover it, let it sit for a couple seconds, then dump it out. I've found that this can be enough to rescue some teas that have an unpleasant odor to them. One of my favorite ways to assess pu-erh is to think back on trips to fine woodcraft vendors, the places you go to buy specialty woods. A lot of raw and ripe pu-erh teas have aromas to them that are not just a simple generic "wood" aroma, but can instead bring back memories of specific woods like cedar, cherry, pine, rosewood, etc. So it's fun to see if you can pick out which wood it reminds you most of.

They're discussing using again the exact same leaves that were just brewed, to brew again and again. These multiple brewings could go more than 10 times, depending on the type of tea. Although some people would think that the flavor gets weaker, but remains the same after each brewing, many tea experts say that they can discern the taste of different flavor notes with each successive brewing.

Nice that people flagged the questionable parts here, that pu'er isn't white tea, and that last tea didn't look fermented enough to be more than a decade old. It could've been incredibly well preserved, stored in a cool and dry place, but then that doesn't work to skip why that's atypical, and generally not regarded positively. Still, the perspective and information was fine for introductory content. I don't think that drinking tangerine pu'er then shu then aged sheng is necessarily a problem. Drinking lighter to heavier may suit more people's preference better, and leaving citrus pu'er out of a combined tasting, but it's all just preference.

I found some golden Pu-erh that is pretty good.

And her last tea looks like a fake. 30 yr old raw puer have a deeper color.
