Today in class we had Pu er tea. I think it is a black tea. We learned that the older the pu er tea is, the better the quality, higher the price, and happier the person drinking it (typically). We gave it a strong taste when we brewed it, It also tasted of earth, like the oolong teas.

Puerh is actually its own classification of tea – sometimes called dark tea.
The ripe version (called shou puerh) is more similar to black tea while the raw version (sheng puerh) shares some characteristics with white tea.

Oh I see, thanks for clearing that up!
