When traveling to Yunnan, what special products do you most want to buy?

Personally, I think the most worthwhile thing to bring with you to Yunnan is Pu’er tea, but I don’t recommend buying big brands. I feel uncomfortable when I think about paying part of the advertising fees for the products I buy. Go and select the tea producing areas in person.

Pu'er tea is called a "drinkable antique" because it gets stronger and more fragrant with age. Tea lovers' pursuit of old tea is actually pursuing a higher-quality drinking experience. Pu'er tea is different from other teas that pursue freshness. Even high-quality raw Pu'er tea has a strong astringency and cold nature in the new tea stage. After a period of aging, the color of the cake surface changes from green to brown, and the aroma, taste, and mouthfeel are affected. With further improvement, the overall performance of tea products will be better and the palatability will be better.

Therefore, more tea lovers are struggling to pursue old tea, but the results are often disappointing: the number of old tea is scarce, and the old tea that is well preserved and has good tea quality is even rarer, and the price is enough to impress. stunned. In addition to the year and output, the grade of Pu'er tea will also affect the price of Pu'er tea itself. Regardless of whether it is raw or cooked, Pu'er tea can be roughly divided into six levels: genuine, high-quality, top-quality, treasure, best, and orphan, so its price is also There is an obvious difference

What I want to buy most when I go to Yunnan is the local tea, Pu'er tea.

When I usually travel, I buy two types of specialty products. One is local delicacies that can be eaten, and the other is souvenirs with local characteristics and culture. Let’s talk about the special products I want to buy when traveling to Yunnan: I personally prefer drinking tea. The bitterness and fragrance of tea always give me a sense of tranquility. Although you can also buy it online, what I want most is to go to the tea gardens where Pu'er is planted in Yunnan, experience the scenery of the tea gardens up close, experience the process of making tea, and then quietly taste the tea. Finally, I brought a can of local Pu'er tea back to the city where I lived. Every time I drank this can of tea, I was filled with memories. \r

The costumes of ethnic minorities are very distinctive, and the patterns on their costumes also represent their culture. Therefore, if you can buy my favorite Miao costumes, it will be a worthwhile trip. Wearing Miao costumes, walking into Miao settlements, and experiencing the daily life of Miao people gives me a special experience. Even if we put the clothes we bought back into the back of the closet after we go back, we can still take them out from time to time to look at and wear them. When we have children, this will be an object for our children to understand me when I was young. No matter what, it can carry my memories and is very meaningful!

In addition to its beautiful scenery, Yunnan’s food is also a major feature. As the saying goes: Food is in Guangdong, taste is in Sichuan, and food is in Yunnan. So when you come to Yunnan, you must not miss Yunnan food.

Of course, tea is also another specialty of Yunnan. Yunnan is an important tea-producing area, including Pu'er tea, Yunnan Dian red, moonlight white, etc.

Here I would like to share some Pu'er tea with tea lovers:

Pu'er tea is produced in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, etc., with Pu'er City in Yunnan Province as the distribution center. It was famous in the Tang Dynasty. Pu'er loose tea is divided into raw Pu'er and ripe Pu'er. Raw Pu'er is naturally fermented, and new tea has a stimulating taste and becomes more fragrant with age; cooked Pu'er is artificially fermented and the tea is milder in nature.

Pu'er tea can also be made into cake tea, Tuo tea, brick tea and other types after autoclaving. Among them, cake tea is pressed into 1 cake according to the previous measurement method of 7 taels (357 grams), and 7 cakes are packed. It is made into a bag, which is said to be "seven, seven, forty-nine, many children, many grandchildren, many blessings"; Tuo tea is shaped like a bowl; brick tea is made into the shape of a brick.

Pu'er tea has always been considered to have significant health care functions, so it is also known as beauty tea, weight loss tea and longevity tea.

1) The difference between good and bad Pu'er tea:

Appearance: Pu'er powder is generally divided into 11 grades including special grade, 1-10, etc. It has a strong appearance, smooth brown-red color, and strips. The cords are neat and tightly knotted, and there are many buds; there are mold flowers on the surface, and the even spots of mold are inferior Pu'er tea.

Soup color: After brewing high-quality Pu'er tea, the tea soup will be rich and bright, as rich and clear as red wine; after brewing inferior Pu'er tea, the tea soup will be dark and turbid.

Aroma: The long and refreshing fragrance after brewing is high-quality Pu'er tea; the musty or gloomy fragrance after brewing is inferior Pu'er tea.

Taste: High-quality Pu'er tea has a rich and smooth taste after brewing. After drinking, the mouth and tongue will be refreshed and the aroma is swirling; inferior Pu'er tea will have a bland or even bitter taste, and you will feel discomfort on both sides of the tongue after drinking.

2) Pu'er tea storage methods:

Air circulation: There must be circulating air, which is conducive to the reproduction of some microorganisms in the tea and can accelerate the changes in the properties of the tea.

Constant temperature: normal indoor temperature, not too high or too low, not exposed to sunlight, it is better to put it in a cool place.

Suitable humidity: Good Pu'er tea should be stored in a dry warehouse, that is, stored in a dry environment and avoid moisture. An environment that is too humid will cause Pu'er tea to become moldy, making the tea undrinkable. But it should not be too dry, otherwise it will slow down the aging of Pu'er tea. You can place a small cup of water next to the tea leaves to slightly increase the humidity in the air.

Endless aftertaste, the essence of Yunnan flavor.
