Taste difference between old and new tea

Here, let's get familiar with the difference in taste between the old and new Pu 'er tea. First of all, new tea, because it has not undergone the process of aging and natural fermentation, has obvious bitterness in taste, and bitterness is more lasting than old tea. The second kind is old tea, because old tea is transformed from new tea after aging. For example, the older the tea leaves are, the better they are fermented during the aging process, and the taste will naturally be smoother than that of new tea, and the bitterness will be lighter and easier to disperse.
