In the past few days, many tea friends have sent me private messages saying that they also want to try Pu'er tea , but they don't know how to judge the quality of Pu'er tea, and they think the water of Pu'er tea is too deep. Today, I will share with you several issues that need to be paid attention to in Pu'er tea tasting, so that everyone can avoid pitfalls.

1. Look at the sieve

. Open a cake of Pu'er tea. In fact, the first thing we see is the sieve of Pu'er tea. Of course, compared to tea soup and taste, I don’t recommend that you read to ask . After all, there is no so-called true or falsehood in Pu'er tea. There are only the differences between famous hills and ordinary hills, ancient tree tea and small tree tea, ecological tea and platform tea , old tea and new tea, pure ingredients tea and paired tea , spring tea and autumn tea . Through the ropes, we can see that there are not many differences. Of course, it is certain that you cannot see the rope, or the tea cake , which looks very poor, is generally of poor quality, and you can pass it directly during the purchase process.

The most basic characteristics of good Pu'er tea are: the ropes are plump, oily and well-soft, neat and clear, uniform in shape, moderate elasticity, mainly green and brown in color, and round surface. Of course, as the years grow, the color of the tea cake strips will change, changing from cyan green and cyan brown to brown.

New tea cake noodles should avoid overall yellowing, and you should also avoid too many yellow slices, black strips, red stems, and old stems when looking at them in daily life. If the strips are not clear, it means that there are too many broken tea and pulp tea, and the tea cake is not clean. It can basically be concluded that the quality of the tea is poor.

2. Look at the soup color

As a qualified Pu'er tea tea, the minimum requirement is that the soup color is transparent and bright. Once the tea soup is turbid, it can basically be concluded that the quality of the tea leaves is average. Of course, during the brewing process, it is best to use tea needle to gently pry the tea cake open, and do not break it up at once. This is not very friendly to observing the tea soup or the bottom of the leaf. At present, there is often a misunderstanding among tea friends that the quality of the tea with bright red tea is yellow and green tea. In fact, this is incorrect. Whether the tea with heavy yellow or red color depends on the degree of conversion of the tea cake. For new tea, the content of the internal chlorophyll in the tea is high, and theophyllin, diamondine , diamondine , etc. has not yet begun mass production, so the new tea is generally yellow-green or golden-yellow, and with the time of transformation, the tea soup will gradually become red and bright.

3, smell

Of course, this should be divided into two aspects: the smell of the tea cake and the aroma of the tea soup. Smelling the smell is indeed useful for high-end players . If you are particularly familiar with a certain mountain, you can smell it almost the same, but at least, I have not reached this level so far. For beginners, or tea lovers who are not particularly strong in Pu'er tea mountain concepts, if they smell a fresh and fragrant feeling and have a vegetation fragrance, then this tea is basically a new tea, and it is also a good choice for tea lovers who can drink new tea. Of course, if there is a floral fragrance, the quality of this new tea is relatively good and worth buying. If honey fragrance , fruit wood fragrance, medicinal fragrance, etc. appear, it is basically proved that the tea has been stored for a long time. Of course, there are also many artificially made teas on the market. Generally speaking, tea that is improperly stored or artificially made old will basically have some unsatisfactory smells, sour, sour, smoke, rust, moldy smell and other unsatisfactory smells. Therefore, during the selection process, if these unsatisfactory smells appear, you should not choose such teas.

4, tea soup

Tea is the best, it is a treasure. In any case, our mouths will not deceive us. No matter how good the tea is, it is meaningless to drink even a pie for tens of thousands of yuan.No matter how bad the tea is, as long as it does not harm the body, even if it is only a few dozen yuan a cake, it will be a good tea to drink it yourself.

Here, I will mainly talk to you about several main taste indicators for Pu'er tea tasting. Taste, sweet and so on, throat rhyme and other aspects are the points we usually pay attention to.

taste

tea soup is in the mouth. Tea with better quality will have a soft, smooth, smooth and thick feeling. Of course, the thick feeling is easier to feel in cooked Pu. It is rare to see it. It can be said that it is a very good tea when you see it.

After the tea soup is in the mouth, in addition to the above feeling, it will also make a judgment on the richness of the taste. This taste comes from the impact force of the tea soup after the tea soup is in the mouth, including a comprehensive expression of aroma, bitterness, sweetness, sweetness and throat rhyme. The tea soup is relatively balanced, and the bitterness will not have a more obvious feeling. At the same time, if the tea soup enters the throat, there will be a obvious bitterness. Of course, it is normal to see if the bitterness melts quickly. If it feels astringent, but the astringent taste can be quickly dissolved, which is also a better tea.

Return to sweet and produce salivation

Return to sweetness is a relatively easy feeling. Tea with sweetness and produce salivation is the most basic, but if not, tea lovers should not buy it. Of course, if you encounter tea that is particularly obvious in returning to Gansu, the price is appropriate, tea friends can also start as soon as possible.

throat rhyme

throat rhyme is the feeling when the tea soup passes through the throat. It is generally divided into the following types: sweet, moist, cool, and throat locking.

sweet and easy to understand, and the throat is sweet. Moist, that is, after drinking, your throat feels moisturized. Cool, it is also a very obvious literal meaning. Of course, in the throat rhyme, Pu'er tea usually has a lot of things, but it's just a little bit of a problem. And the moist and cool feeling need to be better before it appears. When these two throat rhymes appear, tea lovers can pay more attention to the tea.

is sweet, moist and cool, and the throat lock is a bad feeling. In contrast, it is smooth. Of course, the smooth feeling is fleeting, so people usually write down the throat lock, that is, has difficulty swallowing . I personally think this kind of tea is not very good.

5. Looking at the bottom of the leaf

You may not necessarily see good tea, but tea that shows many problems through the bottom of the leaf will generally not have good quality. Generally speaking, people will take good tea more seriously during the process of picking and processing, and there will be fewer problems. Here I will tell you what are the manifestations of tea with poor leaf bases.

High-quality Pu'er tea leaves are generally thicker, which feels soft and elastic to the touch. If it is hard to the touch, the quality of the tea leaves is relatively not very good.

Tea uniformity, you can see the picking standards of a tea. Generally speaking, tea with poor uniformity means that tea is not standardized or mixed in the process of tea making.

leaf bottom picking standards are different

The leaf bottom of high-quality Pu'er tea has thick and soft flesh, the leaf color is blue ink, the surface is oily and smooth, with strong reflection, and no dark color. If the bottom of the leaves is red stems and red leaves, it means that it is "covered" during the transportation process before drying, it is too thick during the drying process, it is insufficient time to drying, it is overcooked, and it is not rolled in place.

In addition, once some small black spots appear on the tea base, it proves that Pu'er tea is fried during the finishing process. It is normal to occasionally appear one or two, but if there are more, it proves that the tea farmers are either ordinary in their skills, or that is, the tea base is average and they are made casually. It is not recommended for tea friends to buy it. Of course, if the tea leaves are fried, it can actually be seen more clearly in the tea soup, that is, there will be many small black spots in the tea soup. Everyone should also pay more attention when making Pu'er tea.
