This tea's fermentation is appriate, which is super for futher aging and storage. Its tea liquid is smooth and soft, with mellow and thick taste. Its sweet after taste is very long due to its careful selection on the Maocha. This is a ripe tea full of good Menghai taste. Good to long term storage and taste.
Important tips: for brewing ripe Pu Er tea, the water temparature should be over 95 degrees, based on different kind of Pu Er teas.
Pu-erh tea can be purchased as either raw/green (sheng) or ripened/cooked (shu), depending on cessing method or aging. Sheng pu-erh can be roughly classified on the tea oxidation scale as a green tea, and the shou or aged-green variants as post-fermented tea.
Unlike other teas that should ideally be consumed shortly after duction, pu-erh can be drunk immediately or aged for many years; pu-erh teas are often now classified by year and region of duction much like wine vintages.
