It is quite interesting that many tea stores got this post of "How to differentiate Puerh Tea" issued by the Chinese Puerh Tea Society. So what is the "Four Important" points in choosing good Puerh?1. Clean : The taste of the tea should be Clean and clear, no moisture taste.
2. Pure : The liquor colour should be in clear deep red, nothing like ink black.
3. Formal : Tea should be store in formal dry storage, no high humidity.
4. Taste : After taste of the tea should be mild, no bitterness.
The second part of the post is talking about "Six Don't policy"
1. Don't mark a wrong production year of the Pureh tea.
2. Don't use miss leading packaging.
3. Don't judge the tea by only observe the liquor colour.
4. Don't add artificial flavour into tea.
5. Don't use humidity Storage as selling point
6. Don't judge the tea quality only by tea leaves or year of the tea tree.
Well, they are very good reference for those who try to learn more about Pureh tea. I will remember them all the time.
Hi, thx for the sharing.
ReplyDeleteI like jasmine, don't know much about puerh but hope to try. Do you have any recommendation on brand/ year for a beginner?
Jasmine is a kind of very popular and good flower tea. Smell and looks good. If you want to try Pureh, I suggest you do not try those really cheap Pureh, as they taste really bad and bitter which will spoil your impression of Pureh. Most of the western ppl do not drink Puerh usually becasue they try something really bad in Chinese restarant and having bad experience.
