What is Pu'er tea? is it black tea, Pu'er old tea or new tea? how much is it worth after 10 years?

Many of us wonder which tea is best. There are plenty of answers online that can tell the difference between each tea. People are also asking themselves if the tea they drink is the best. Some people are looking for the best tea, take shortcuts, but end up unhappy. We will show you how to choose the best tea for yourself.

Most of us start drinking tea with green tea or black tea. This is where we first came into contact with and learned about tea. Some of us stay at the beginning of tea, enjoying the taste and more knowledge of tea. But there's always a group of people who love experiences and keep trying new things. These people are like Columbus who finally discovered the New World.

Which tea is best? It's a very broad question, and everyone's answer is different. Green tea lovers always stick to the aromatic nutty flavor, while others may prefer smoky oolong tea or earthy puer.

Each tea has its own characteristics and unique taste. Green tea has a clear nutty and plant flavor, refreshing taste, slightly sweet, quiet and natural. Loose leaf green tea color clear transparent, some slightly green impression, unlike matcha or other artificial tea, green tea vivid, taste straight thick.

Compared with green tea, oolong tea tastes richer, more like "tea", with fresh flowers. Due to the fermentation process, tea is darker in color, ranging from light gold to dark gold. Some heavily fermented oolong teas even have a smoky flavor, such as the iconic dahongpao cinnamon. Phoenix oolong tea is a tea product between green tea and oolong tea. It has both the taste of green tea and the aroma of oolong tea.

Black tea is closer to dark tea; fully fermented tea still has a strong floral and mellow taste. Some have a sweet taste, some have a smoky tail. The color of black tea looks dark red or bright red. According to research, good quality black tea should have signs of bright black tea wine.

Compared with other teas, Pu 'er tea has a higher level and a stronger taste, especially mature Pu' er tea. There are two types of tea we need to know. Pu 'er tea is divided into ripe tea and raw tea. Before we buy, we have to find out what Pu 'er is. Some tea merchants may refer to the ripe as Shou, meaning "ripe," and the raw as Sheng, meaning "raw."

Mature Pu 'er tea has a stronger taste, darker color, earthy and musty taste, and a unique aroma. Poor quality mature Pu 'er, some with a fish flavor, some with a faint stale flavor, while better quality Pu' er, taste richer, smoother, when carefully tasted, there is so much flavor to be found.

Jingmai Pu 'er Tea is a completely different kind of tea, although it also has a slight earthy taste. Raw Pu 'er tea looks greener or lighter, but its taste doesn't make sense. If you've ever eaten licorice or licorice, you'll probably understand its taste more thoroughly. The taste of raw Pu 'er tea is very similar to that of licorice, which leisurely brings back the natural sweetness and remains between the taste buds. The new puer tea is more irritating than the old puer tea because its fermentation time has not yet fully developed. After fermentation time, raw Pu 'er tea becomes softer, richer and less irritating.

There are no clear instructions to tell you which tea is best, and only if you keep trying new things will you reach your final destination. Of course, if you're happy with what you have, you can stay where you are. Every destination has a lot of things we can't deny. According to the convention we must follow, we cannot take shortcuts.

As far as I am concerned, the taste of Pu 'er tea is so rich, especially raw tea, which is unmatched by other teas. Rather than saying it is the best, it is better to describe Pu 'er as "infinitely discoverable taste".
