Hi, first post! 
I'll do an intro somewhere more appropriate...
This thread kind of caught my eye...so what if I like young sheng? Actually I think it's taste can be very accessible to people who are used to drinking fresh teas and would be a good introduction to pu-erh tea...much better than cheap shu or wet stored sheng anyway...
Myself I enjoy both fresh young sheng's and those aged over 10 years...they are very different tea and so long as they're of good quality and well stored are enjoyable at any age.
If I had to guess I think this general aversion to drinking fresh sheng is that if you drink it now it never has the chance to develop into a 15 year old sheng...but really...why not just buy lots and then you'll have some for now and some for years from now.

Tea is such an individual experience. Some people, like myself get sick from drinking too much young puerh while others have no issues. Some can drink Dan Cong till the cows come home and others have a limit before their stomach turns somersaults.
I think it's important to listen to your body and see how the tea you are consuming is effecting it.
In terms of pu, I really recommend fans of Pu both young and old go on a full exploration of the tea. There are so many exceptional teas both young, old, raw and cooked that it's a shame to not explore them and expand your experience of them.

You guys that haven't had any aged should really try some samples from nadacha. The price is very reasonable (One 5g. pot is maybe a few us$, cheaper than a starbux coffee or (the new)starbux tea lattes lol). The shipping is cheap too. I like young and old, but find old to be more interesting, long lasting, and euphoric. He doesn't have 60s or 70s stuff, but he has a great selection of 10 years+.
