Pu'er tea refers to tea made from Yunnan large-leaf tea plants and made through specific processing technology.
Pu'er tea is mainly produced in the middle and lower reaches of the Lancang River in Yunnan Province, where the climate is warm and humid, the soil is fertile, the sun is abundant, and the mist is abundant, which is an ideal place for tea plants to grow.
Pu'er tea can be divided into two types according to the processing technology: Pu'er raw tea and Pu'er ripe tea.
Pu'er raw tea refers to fresh leaves as raw materials, through killing, kneading, solar drying, autoclaving and other processes of tea leaves, its quality characteristics are: dark green appearance, pure and lasting aroma, strong taste and sweetness, soup color green and yellow clear, leaf bottom fat yellow green.

The drinking method of Pu'er tea has the following points to pay attention to:
Choose the right tea set. In general, purple clay pots, clay pots, porcelain pots, etc. can be used to brew Pu'er tea, but avoid using metal pots or plastic pots with peculiar smells.
Wash and preheat tea sets. Rinse and preheat the tea set with boiling water to remove impurities and odors, and also improve the brewing effect.
Take an appropriate amount of tea. Generally speaking, 3-5 grams of tea leaves per 100 ml of water is appropriate, which can be adjusted appropriately according to personal taste and tea quality.
Wash tea and wake up the tea leaves. Steep the tea leaves in boiling water for 10-20 seconds and then pour out the soup, which removes dust and impurities from the surface and also awakens the sleeping tea leaves.
Brew and drink. Brew tea leaves with boiling water, the first brew time is about 30 seconds, and each subsequent brew increases by about 10 seconds. When drinking, chew slowly and swallow slowly to feel the color, aroma, taste and sweetness of the soup.
