Classification and name of Pu'er tea

1. According to the production method, it can be divided into:

1. Raw tea: It is fermented naturally after picking. The tea has a stimulating nature. After being stored for many years, the tea will become milder. Good old Pu'er is usually made in this way.

2. Cooked tea: The tea is mild in nature and tastes good by using science and artificial fermentation. The water after 1973 is the dividing point. The water brewed from raw tea is green, while the water brewed from cooked tea is golden red.

2. According to the storage method, it can be divided into:

1. Dry-Storage Pu'er: refers to Pu'er tea stored in a ventilated, dry and clean warehouse to allow the tea to ferment naturally and age for 10 to 20 years.

2. Wet-stored Pu'er: Usually placed in a relatively humid place, such as a basement or cellar, to speed up its fermentation. Since the contents of the tea leaves are more damaged, it often has a muddy or moldy smell. Although the aging speed of wet-stored Pu'er is faster than that of dry-stored Pu'er, it is prone to mildew, which is harmful to human health. Therefore, we do not advocate the sale and consumption of wet-stored Pu'er.

How to drink Pu'er tea

For loose tea leaves, a tea knife is fine. But for tight tea leaves, such as small Tuo tea, it is best to use a tea cone. This is because the raw materials used to make Tuo tea are of a higher grade, and the contact surface of the tea cone is smaller, so it is not easy to damage the tea leaves. If the tea cake is tight, use a tea cone for the same reason.

1. Green cake (raw tea): The water temperature is about 80-95 degrees. If the water temperature is too high, it will easily burn the tea leaves and bring out the bitter taste, but it is conducive to the rapid leaching of the fragrance and tea flavor. Wash the tea first, usually one or two times. The key to whether a cup of tea is brewed well is the tea washing process. It mainly depends on the water temperature, brewing time, and the speed of the tea. It is best to feel it yourself. After the tea is brewed, open the lid of the pot or bowl, otherwise it is easy to damage its aroma and quality. Try to make the tea clean every time.

2. Ripe cake: Ripe cake: The temperature is relatively high, preferably 100 degrees. Ripe cake: The temperature is relatively high, similar to raw tea, but some ripe teas are more fragrant without opening the lid.
