Which is more difficult to process, raw or ripe Pu erh tea?

The difficulty of ripe Pu'er tea is greater, and the production process of Pu'er raw tea: picking, spreading, drying, rolling, drying, screening, pressing into cakes, and drying.

Pu'er ripe tea production process: picking, spreading, drying, rolling, drying, fermentation, screening, pressing into cakes, drying.

Ripe Pu'er tea has one more fermentation process than Pu'er raw tea, and this Wudui fermentation technology is also the top priority of ripe tea.

The fermentation of ripe Pu'er tea directly leads to the quality of ripe Pu'er tea. In addition to the technical maturity, we must also pay attention to the environment, air, water quality, etc.

Ripe tea has the risk of failure. In the processing technology of ripe tea, there is a very important procedure is Wudui, in the indoor wet water tea leaves are piled together according to a certain amount, under the joint action of microorganisms, damp heat and oxidation, the unique flavor and quality of Pu'er tea are formed.

Undoubtedly, ripe tea. This is also the reason why ripe tea will become the main battlefield of competition in the tea industry in the future.

Because compared with the production process of raw tea, ripe tea is more complicated, and the fermentation process of Wudui is not something that ordinary people can operate.

Moreover, the control of the quality of ripe tea not only requires the timely tasting of the current two or three years, but more importantly, the embodiment of the core value of the older and stronger the fragrance in the future.

The production process of Pu'er tea raw tea includes: picking - fresh leaf stall drying - finishing - rolling - unblocking - drying - sieving - autoclaving - packaging.

The production process of ripe Pu'er tea includes: picking, fresh leaf spreading, finishing, rolling, unblocking, drying, piling, drying, screening, storage, molding, packaging.

Wudui fermentation is the key and difficult point of ripe tea, not only to have high-quality raw materials, but also to have in-depth research and a lot of practical experience in the ripe tea process in order to produce a satisfactory quality of ripe Pu'er tea.

Compared with Pu'er raw tea, ripe Pu'er tea has stricter requirements and higher costs.

Pu'er tea raw tea is good.

From the point of view of collection, Pu'er raw tea is better than cooked tea, because Pu'er raw tea is a Pu'er tea that is aged in a natural way, without artificial fermentation, and only processed and modified, so Pu'er raw tea has a greater transformation value, and after being placed for decades, the taste and aroma of Pu'er raw tea will change dramatically, which is incomparable to ripe tea.

Due to the reason that ripe Pu'er tea has been fermented by artificial Wuhei, the endoplasm has already completed the transformation in the fermentation process, so the transformation value of ripe tea is not large, and there is no significance for long-term preservation, and the best tasting time for ripe tea is 2 3 years.

Pu-erh tea preservation method:

1. Direct storage: Pu'er tea is packaged in paper bags or bamboo shoot shells, which can be stored directly without wrapping plastic bags on the outer layer to prevent obstruction of air circulation. At the same time, the storage of Pu'er tea does not require or should be refrigerated.

2. Carton storage: If you are not a tea merchant and a hobby of collecting tea, but simply like to drink tea. Storing it in such a simple carton is the most convenient way to save the hassle and effort.

However, it is important to note that the carton is not placed close to the wall and on the ground. Because the moisture on the walls and the floor is relatively large, it will cause the tea leaves to get wet. It can be placed on some bookshelves or wooden shelves.

3. Jar storage: Using jars to store tea is the most scientific way. This preservation method is more suitable for some tea collectors.

Because of the way the jar is stored, it can effectively prevent the tea from getting wet and will not oxidize due to contact with air. Moreover, the storage of jars also has the effect of waking up tea, killing two birds with one stone. The jar recommendation here:

Purple clay pot or clay pot.

4. Plastic bag storage: You can choose a fresh-keeping bag for microwave oven, because most of this kind of fresh-keeping bags have tiny breathable holes, and then put the tea in a plastic bag without piercing) and then put it in a paper bag, which is convenient to use, both moisture-proof and convenient.

Raw tea and cooked tea all belong to the general tear tea, there is no absolute good or bad, according to personal preferences, each has its own good.

Pu'er raw tea is not fermented and wet, and the brewed tea soup is a little bitter, but it is sweet after tasting. After fermentation and piling, the taste of ripe Pu'er tea is mellow, with a longan aroma, and the aftertaste is sweet. After the ripe tea is spread and finished, it also has to go through the process of worn, fermentation, etc., the wet pile process is unique to the ripe tea, which is the key to determining the quality of the ripe tea, the longer the preservation time, the better, and the mellow taste after brewing.

Preservation method: Because tea is very easy to oxidize at high temperature, many people will choose refrigeration to store tea, although tea can be placed in the refrigerator, but it should also be noted that it is not directly put into the refrigerator, because the tea is not damp, so take measures when storing it in the refrigerator. You can put the tea leaves in a dry and odorless bottle, seal the bottle with plastic wrap, and then put it in the refrigerator.

However, this method is basically used to store green tea, and other types of tea do not need to be placed in the refrigerator, and are generally placed directly in a dry, cool, and ventilated environment.
