In Pu 'er tea, there is only one word difference between "fixing green" and "drying green". How to distinguish?

Three parts of raw materials and seven parts of technology.

Good tea must come from good technology and good ecology.

There are many processes for making Pu 'er tea. If you don't understand, you will still make jokes. I once met a tea friend and asked: Do you want to fry Pu 'er tea, too? Isn't Pu 'er tea going to be killed? Haha, this is a typical example of focusing only on the concept and not knowing the meaning!

New tea lovers sometimes can't distinguish between "fixing green" and "drying green", and some tea lovers will be confused. Although the names differ by one word, they are two concepts.

The methods of de-enzyming Pu 'er tea are mainly divided into frying and roller de-enzyming. Generally, Taiwanese tea is de-enzymed by drum machine, while ancient tea is mostly de-enzymed by pan frying.

The purpose of deactivating enzymes in other kinds of tea is to use high temperature to prevent continuous transformation, while the deactivation of Pu 'er tea only inhibits and delays the fermentation speed, increases the elasticity of tea, and is beneficial to rolling and deactivating enzymes.

The temperature of the inner wall of the iron pot is generally controlled at about 260~280, not higher than 300. The temperature of tea leaves is between 60℃ and 80℃, and the time for fixing tea leaves is controlled by the fixing master according to the characteristics of mountain tea leaves and the fineness of picking, which is generally between 20~30 minutes. Of course, I've seen stir-fried ones, and they take more than 10 minutes.

sunburn

The drying method of sun-dried green tea, the raw material of Pu 'er tea, is different from other frying or drying, but depends on the sun to dry tea. This process is called sun drying. The water content of dry tea is about 9%- 10%.

At present, many tea farmers in Chashan use sun sheds at home, which will reduce dust, be cleaner and reduce ultraviolet rays in the sun. Tea scholars have different views on this issue, each saying its advantages and disadvantages. Personally, I prefer direct drying of dry hairy tea.

To understand Pu 'er tea, we should first start with the production technology of Pu 'er tea, and then study and explore Pu 'er tea step by step. I believe all tea lovers who like Pu 'er tea can have a correct understanding and judgment of Pu 'er tea.

Pay attention to Shouxingchang and drink Pu 'er with experts!
