The taste is not strong, clear and sweet. It does not have the aroma of green tea, the charm of oolong tea, and the strong black tea. Pu'er tea belongs to the dark tea category among the six major tea products of green, green, yellow, white, red, and black. It is the representative of black tea. Pu'er tea is the general name for various Yunnan pressed teas that are steamed and pressed from green tea or black tea, including Tuocha, cake tea, square tea, tight tea, etc. A variety of Pu'er tea can be made using different processing methods. The fresh leaves are dried, rolled, and dried to produce large-leaf green tea, which is called Pu'er loose tea.

After drinking it, you will have endless aftertaste, and the tea is mild in nature and has good pharmacological effects.

Fragrance, jujube fragrance, among which "orchid fragrance" is the best.

It is mellow and refreshing like white tea, but it has indescribable various different tea aromas that change over time

Pu'er tea is divided into grades.

When choosing Pu'er tea, you must first look at the appearance. Whether it is tea cake, Tuo tea, brick tea, or other teas with various shapes, first look at the strip shape of the tea leaves. Whether the strips are complete, whether the leaves are old or tender, The old leaves are larger and the young leaves are thinner. If the appearance of a piece of tea cake does not show obvious strips (the lines formed by the pieces of tea leaves), but appears broken and thin, it is made of inferior quality.

Secondly, it depends on the color of the tea leaves, whether it is dark or light, and how glossy it is. The authentic color is pork liver color. Pu'er tea aged for more than five years has this black and reddish color.

Third, look at the color of the soup. The brewed tea soup of good Pu'er tea is transparent and shiny, with an oily bead-shaped film on the soup. The bad thing is that the tea soup turns black and black.

The fourth important thing is to smell. Is there any fragrance coming out and is there a sweet aftertaste? For aged tea, it depends on whether it has a unique aged flavor, which is a very sweet taste rather than a "smelly smell".

If you can test soaking, you can also see whether the bottom of the soaked leaves is complete and whether it still maintains softness.

As for tea cakes, we should also pay attention to whether the internal and external quality are consistent, rather than the kind of good tea with tea residues on the outside and "covered tea".

According to the "Yunnan Provincial Local Standards" for Pu'er tea, the basic quality of Pu'er tea must meet the following conditions: normal quality, no deterioration, and no peculiar smell; Pu'er tea must be clean and contain no non-tea inclusions Pu'er tea must not be colored and does not contain additives; the appearance of Pu'er tea cakes must be smooth, neat, and evenly thick.

At present, there are not many old teas on the market, and it is not easy to judge. In principle, the smell emitted by Pu'er tea cakes can be used as a reference for judging the year. Those with a glycol smell should have been aged for five to ten years, those with a flat smell without any other odors should have been aged for three to five years, and those with a raw or mixed smell are considered new. Finally, you can also look at the looseness of the tea cakes, because after oxidation in long-term contact with the air, the tea cakes will become looser.
