What is Liu An, anyway?

I've recently been drinking some Liu An, packed by Silk Road Teas, from a sample a friend was good enough to send me. I've been enjoying enough that my curiosity's been stimulated.

I've heard that this is a green tea that's been aged, but it looks nothing like "green" Puerhs: the leaves are very dark. But the taste of the batch I'm drinking from reminds me of a heavily roasted oolong. So I wonder: is Liu An a *roasted* aged tea? If anyone knows, I'm also curious if the roasting (assuming that does happen) is done when the tea is still young, or if it only happens later.

Do you know which of Silk Road's Liu An selection you have: P-LA-90, P-LA-99, P-LAS-01?

Sorry about the delay, but my friend has been out of email contact recently. It's the P-LA-99.
