Nen Pu'er tea refers to the large-leaf tea newly produced in Yunnan, which is picked, hand-processed, dried and pressed into a cake.

The young Pu'er is very exciting. It shows a mellow and pleasant character only after an important period of aging. It tastes bitter and astringent when eaten shortly after production. Tea drinkers can easily experience the taste of young raw Pu'er tea in almost any tea shop. If you like this kind of tea, you only need to find a kind of tea that suits your taste. There is no need to consider the aging potential of tea, but if you plan to preserve tea for a long time, I suggest that it is rich in theophylline, complex brewing quality and pure and rich taste. I know these descriptive terms are quite abstract, but Pu'er is difficult to express in words. To really understand Pu'er requires actual taste and step-by-step research.

The advantages of raw Pu'er tea include: it is relatively cheap, will not bring great financial burden to consumers, is easy to buy, can withstand repeated brewing, and is a good substitute for fresh green tea. Disadvantages include: it is bitter and astringent; rake space, it takes time to age, and its taste changes in limes are not clear (assuming the buyer is inexperienced).

Familiar with the general

Mature Pu'er tea involves another level of Pu'er tea production based on heap fermentation technology. This process changes the tea, thus shortening the aging process, which usually takes 20 or 30 years. If the fermented tea is pressed into a cake, a mature Pu'er tea cake is made. Because mature Pu'er tea reduces the content of irritants in tea, its taste is reminiscent of old Pu'er tea. Please note that fully ripe Pu'er is different from fully ripe raw Pu'er. Because mature Pu'er tea does not need to be stored for a long time, so the price is very affordable, which is its biggest advantage. Its price is available to anyone. A pound of delicious mature bulk tea can usually be bought for less than 100 yuan. I think mature Pu'er is the most suitable for daily consumption of large teapots. If the price is right and the taste is acceptable, you can buy it. There is no need to consider putting the tea aside for a few years before drinking it.

The advantages of mature Pu'er tea include: low price and easy to buy; it is very approachable; it is sweet and drinkable; and it does not need aging and can be eaten immediately. The disadvantages are: the brewing is not strong enough; it may take away the taste; it does not stick to multiple injections well; it may still have the smell of "wet pile" fermentation, giving it a turbid taste; it may even be a little sour; over time, its potential for improvement is limited.

Wet storage of Pu'er

Wet storage of Pu'er tea represents a compromise to traditional aged Pu'er tea, based on time, money and taste considerations. Raw Pu'er is placed in a relatively humid environment for a period of time to make the bitter raw tea mature rapidly through the operation of humidity and time. In this way, tea can be sold on the market without having to wait for 20 or 30 years. Therefore, it can be sold at a lower price.

However, like everything, every penny is worth a penny. The reasonably priced wet storage of Pu'er tea does cause some concerns among tea drinkers. For example, some stored wet tea tastes uneven. The taste of the first piece of cake may be different from that of the fourth piece of cake, because the position of the tea during storage will affect the water exposure of the tea. This leads to a lack of consistency. What is more troublesome is that the taste of the tea outside the cake may be very different from that of the tea in the center of the cake.

In addition, the most important aspect of wet storage to production is how to store and put the moldy taste brought by Wei's Cang (wet storage) after the tea, many found unpleasant and converted it into a very ideal flavor of age, in the past, to lower sales, Hong Kong tea merchants have plenty of time to put the tea in a dry, cool, well-ventilated place. They can use the time to dispel the musty smell of tea, turn it into an aging flavor, and then sell it. Today, Pu'er Island is more widely sought after. Experienced tea drinkers are likely to buy tea at a lower price before the wet storage taste has a chance to dissipate. Because the price is cheap and they know how to remove the musty smell, they have no reservations about buying wet stored tea. Tea merchants later found that tea drinkers were willing to buy wet stored tea as long as there was a discount. As a result, they began to sell tea products that still had this taste. Consumers will be satisfied as long as they buy tea. They can lower the price of tea a little bit and make buyers worry about moving Cangwei away.

Unfortunately, some retailers who do not fully understand tea are not good at taking tea out of warehouses. Although they still have a strong hidden flavor, they still sell tea. They even claim that this kind of tea is called "old Pu'er". No wonder some tea drinkers have such a low opinion of tea sellers. This may be due to previous unpleasant experiences with such sellers.

The advantages of wet storage of Pu'er include: it does not need to be stored at home because it has been stored for some time; it has a good aging flavor; it provides a satisfactory tea tasting experience; it is affordable; it can be brewed immediately; it can be aged and consumed at the same time; generally speaking, it still has the potential for further aging; finally, its taste is similar to that of old Pu'er tea, provided that the taste of wet storage is removed. Its disadvantages include: it may carry certain flavors; the position may still be there, neither dissipated nor eliminated; and age can be easily forged.

Assuming that money is not a problem, there is nothing better than buying real old Pu'er tea, that is, more than 30 years of tea. This kind of tea eliminates any risk of aging of the tea itself and achieves the above results, becoming a kind of tea that can be bought and drunk immediately.

The advantages of Lao Pu'er are: the tea is delicate; it provides a unique taste; it has rich ancient Pu'er charm; it has the taste commonly loved by tea drinkers; it can be eaten immediately after purchase; it does not need any further aging; the whole tea cake can be drunk immediately; it does not involve the risk of changing over time; and unlike tea, it must be stored before drinking. The shortcomings are as follows: first of all, and most importantly, the old Pu'er is expensive. There is very little tea in circulation on the market, and it is not easy to buy. Due to the high price, you may not be able to try it before you buy it. Because it is out of date, there is limited room for improvement. The high price of aged tea means that fake tea can be seen everywhere. Experience is needed to distinguish between real old Pu'er and counterfeits.
