The degree of fermentation depends on the amount of time the tea is wet piled and can differ depending on the intended outcome. The 55015 is wet piled for about 25 days, which is little less time than a classical liu bao (29 days).  The result is a liu bao with a very slight green character.  It reminds me of a slightly of aged raw pu-erh, having both thick mouth-feel and excellent long-lasting hui gan.  It's overall feeling is clean, vibrant, with a thick body.  Since it's been aged in Wuzhou for less than 2 years this
