The difference between the six and ten mountains of Pu'er tea

Pu'er tea tastes different when it is produced in different places. Yibang, Yiwu, Youle, Gedeng, Mangzhi and Manzhuan are the famous six ancient tea mountains on the east bank of the Lancang River, commonly known as the six ancient tea mountains in the river, or the "six ancient tea mountains" in the traditional sense. These tea mountains have a long history and were well-known in the world in the early Qing Dynasty. The ten major mountains are generally considered to be Laobanzhang, Bingdao, Xigui, Guafengzhai, Mahe, Laoman'e, Mansong, Wangong, Naka and Nannuoshan.

Pu'er Tea:

Pu'er Tea is a large tree in Xishuangbanna, Lincang, Pu'er and other areas of Yunnan Province, up to 16 meters high, with fine hairs on young branches and white soft hairs on the terminal buds. The leaves are thin leathery and elliptical. The flowers are axillary and softly hairy. There are 2 bracts, falling early. There are 5 sepals, nearly round, glabrous on the outside. There are 6-7 petals, obovate, glabrous. The stamens are 8-10 mm long, free, and glabrous. The ovary is 3-chambered and covered with hairs; the style is 8 mm long and 3-lobed at the tip. The capsule is flat triangular spherical. There is one seed in each chamber, nearly round, with a diameter of 1 cm. Pu'er tea pays attention to brewing skills and the art of drinking. It can be drunk alone or mixed. Pu'er tea soup is orange-yellow and thick, with a high, sharp and lasting aroma, unique fragrance, rich taste, and long-lasting brewing.

Why is there a layer of fog on the surface of Pu'er tea?

There is a very thin layer of oil on the surface of the tea, which is difficult to see with the naked eye. The tea oil separates the tea from the air, and the temperature of the tea is high, so the water vapor produced cannot disperse into the air. It temporarily supports the tea oil, then quickly emerges, flies into the air and disappears. So if you look closely, you can see that its shape is constantly changing. However, due to the air pressure problem, the air pressure on cloudy days is lower than that on sunny days, so bubbles will emerge from the oil surface very quickly, making it difficult to form tea mist.

Can drinking raw Pu'er tea change the alkaline constitution?

Drinking Pu'er tea cannot change an alkaline constitution, because the tea leaves are rich in caffeine, theophylline, theobromine and other substances. It is a typical alkaline beverage and can improve an acidic constitution. After drinking tea, the tea water can be quickly absorbed and oxidized in the body, producing alkaline metabolites with a high concentration, thereby timely neutralizing the acidic metabolic wastes in the blood produced by overeating acidic foods, such as lactic acid and urea, etc., which can maintain the acid-base balance of the blood and keep the body tissues and body fluids in a normal weak alkaline state, so as to facilitate the normal progress of life activities.
