For beginners, the difference between Pu 'er cooked tea and black tea.

The difference between cooked tea and yunnan black tea is mainly in these aspects: appearance, technology, taste, aroma and efficacy, which are explained below.

First of all, the appearance is the best to distinguish. Most yunnan black tea are exposed to gold, or made into snails, which is easy to distinguish, but there is also a kind that looks like ripe tea-Gushu black tea. Black tea made of ancient tree tea is thin and dark, and looks similar to Pu 'er tea. At this time, it is very simple to distinguish which is cooked tea and which is black tea.

Cooked tea and loose tea

Black tea dry tea smells sweet and caramel. Sweet taste is very strong, much stronger than cooked tea and dry tea. Cooked tea dry tea has a light smell, a faint fragrance, and the smell of a bunch of cooked tea. It is not as sweet as black tea. Try two kinds of tea. The taste is very different, so it is easy to distinguish.

Next is technology. For yunnan black tea, technology is the most critical factor to distinguish black tea from cooked tea. In terms of raw materials, Daye tea can be made into Pu 'er tea or black tea, and the key lies in the process. For example, Nanming Jiaren 20 15' s top-level Dianhong "Beauty" is made of Lincang Fengqing big leaf species and adopts pure Dianhong production technology. After being made, it tastes sweet and Gan Chun, smooth and moist, which is very popular with people who love tea.

① The production process of cooked tea is: fresh leaves, withering, deactivating enzymes, rolling, sun drying, fermenting, drying, sieving, picking and autoclaving, which is really complicated. Let's take a look at yunnan black tea.

The biggest difference lies in fermentation. Fermentation is a fast catalytic process. The fermentation degree of cooked tea is generally five to eight points, while black tea is fully fermented, that is, 100% fermentation. Therefore, there is a post-fermentation process in the later storage of cooked tea, which is not yet fully mature, and its contents still have room for later transformation. Black tea is almost completely stimulated by its endoplasm and is only suitable for drinking now. Therefore, the shelf life of cooked tea is generally three years, and the older it is in the next few decades.

Another important difference in technology is drying. When making sun-dried green tea, Pu 'er tea is sun-dried. After kneading the dough, it was dried by natural light, and after fermentation, it was ditched and dried indoors. During the drying process, Pu 'er tea is naturally dried, while black tea is dried. Drying has the function of enhancing fragrance at high temperature. Fermented and dried at high temperature to make green tea. After sorting and grading, some manufacturers will dry and then pack.

Next, let's talk about the different tastes. Cooked tea tastes mellow and has a unique fragrance. The aroma of aged ripe tea is sweet and mellow, the soup is mellow and smooth, full and plump, and the tea is mild. The newly cooked tea has a unique smell of heap fermentation, commonly known as "seafood flavor", and the tea is hot and dry.

Yunnan black tea is mellow, smooth and delicate, full of texture, and the tea is warm and mellow, so it is suitable for people of all ages.

Cooked tea will age with the extension of storage time, and the newly cooked tea has the smell of accumulation and fermentation. Taking Kunming dry warehouse as an example, after three years, the smell of heap fermentation has been very weak, and in the subsequent transformation process, cooked tea may have these aromas: jujube, aged, ginseng, camphor and lotus.

The aroma of yunnan black tea is not so complicated, but generally appears: honey, sweet potato, caramel and the unique sweetness of black tea.

In contrast, the aroma of cooked tea is calm and heavy, while that of yunnan black tea is rich and high, with a sense of overflow.

In addition, in terms of health care efficacy, aged ripe tea has certain effects of nourishing and strengthening the stomach, lowering the three highs and losing weight, while black tea has obvious effects of caring skin, resisting aging and strengthening the stomach.
