Pu'er tea is made of Yunnan large-leaf sun-dried green hair tea as raw materials, processed by post-fermentation process, according to the classification of fermentation process, can be divided into raw tea and cooked tea two, do you know what is the difference between raw Pu'er and cooked Pu'er?
First of all, we must know that raw pu'er is processed into sun-dried green hair tea through withering, killing, kneading, drying and other processes, and then put into the mold to set and press, and dry, it becomes a tightly pressed tea, and the production of cooked tea is an additional pile fermentation, other processes are the same as raw tea, from the following 3 points to distinguish them.
First, from the color point of view
Because the production process of raw Pu'er tea does not go through fermentation, only through wilting, killing, kneading, drying, steaming, drying and other processes, so the color of raw Pu'er tea leaves is dark green, turquoise, after aging, part will turn yellow-green, the color of the brewed tea soup is greenish yellow or yellow-green.
After ripe Pu'er is fermented in Wudui, the color of tea leaves is dark red, or chestnut, and the color of the leaf base of ripe Pu'er tea with a better degree of fermentation is generally "pig liver color", and gradually transforms to dark brown with the increase of storage year.
Second, from the aroma point of view
Raw Pu'er tea smells mostly fragrant, milli-fragrant, lotus-aroma, chestnut aroma, while ripe Pu'er tea is fermented, the aroma smells with aged aroma, ginseng aroma, bean aroma, the longer the storage time, its aroma is stronger, more mellow.
After ripe Pu'er is fermented in Wudui, the color of tea leaves is dark red, or chestnut, and the color of the leaf base of ripe Pu'er tea with a better degree of fermentation is generally "pig liver color", and gradually transforms to dark brown with the increase of storage year.
Third, from the taste point of view
Although both are Pu'er tea, but their taste gap is particularly large, Pu'er raw tea taste mellow, sweet and fragrant slightly bitter, the more taste, and cooked Pu'er taste thick, sweet in the mouth, no bitterness, so most of them prefer to drink ripe Pu'er tea.
