Chinese Pu-erh tea with its unique nature
Pu-erh tea has caught the fancy of many Western tea drinkers because of its unique and delicate taste and bio picture.
The organic image is derived, it is one of the least processed tea, there are only two simple steps in production - 'fade' and 'dry'. The processes in the production of green, oolong, black tea are usually expansions or additions here primarily "bake" to 'rub' "fashion", or. The virtually untreated nature minimizes the breakdown of enzymes and oxidation.
Because of its simple and common production process, some historians believe that Pu-erh tea was one of the very original Chinese tea, its use goes back at least two thousand years. The simple process of production has been practiced over the years honed by qualified and experienced exponents of the art form.
Pu-erh tea production is almost exclusively in the province of Southern Fujian, its natural environment is particularly suited to the cultivation of plants. Production is concentrated in areas such as Fuding and Zhenghe, is characterized by a hilly terrain, mild temperatures and plenty of regular rain. Fuding has, for example one year, the average temperature of 18oC and 1660mm rain fall. The soil in these areas is predominantly a red or yellow color.
All teas consist of the same plant called "Camellia sinensis". There are a few premium species that are grown specifically for premium Pu-erh tea, for example, Fuding Da Hao, Zhenghe and Fuan Big White. Premium tea leaves have Fuller body compared to its next sibling green tea. The leaf tips are usually rich silvery-white fur, is the 'Silver' representation of the final product, such as silver needle.
FuJian province of Southern China is a traditional tea country, famous for Oolong and some green teas - Tea production in addition to its white. Despite the Chinese tendency to preserve trade secrets, over two thousand years of tea production and export to other countries, resulting in leakage of skills and knowledge that are needed for the processing of many Chinese teas. For example, the processing has been know for green and black teas finally exported. The specialized skills of Pu-erh tea production have so far been assigned in the region of Fujian.
Imitation products are sold in the market. Plants used in these counterfeit products are lightened color. The preparation is also different. A processing step 'Sha Qing - green tea production is traditionally used instead of' devastating 'step - the unmistakable process make authentic Premium Pu-erh tea added.
Pu-erh tea is not consumed as much as the others because of the highly localized production in China. This rarity has contributed its value. Premium Silver Needle is especially prized and associated pay. Outside China and among Chinese emigrants Pu-erh tea is growing in popularity.

Buy Pu-erh tea with these guides
Wiped the sweat from his forehead while his drying tea leaves tends discovered a farmer a black snake in the vicinity. Scared and worried, he ran and did not return for a few days so that the snake was no longer around. Unfortunately, he let his music in the splendor of a southern Chinese sun and the leaves had changed color. Out of curiosity he brewed it and found that it was a pleasant, sweet and flowery taste. Pu-erh tea was born.
OK, that's one of the interesting legends that seems to be the source of many types of tea and is not literally probably true. Pu-erh tea seems only to the end of the Ming Dynasty, dating back some 400 years ago. Nobody really knows for sure. Pu-erh is a cross between green and black tea, it is much more than just green but less processed than black and is oxidized anywhere from 15 to 70 percent. The first stage processing is to crush the leaves, so that they can easily oxidized. Once oxidized to the extent applicable, the tea leaves are rolled and fired to. Areas to stop the oxidation process Those with less oxidation sometimes referred to as "green Pu-erh", while those at the upper end of the scale oxidation are "Brown Pu-erhs."
The tea is therefore supplied in small balls that extend into the cup to produce their delicate floral scent and taste. There are a variety of Pu-erh teas available if you have tried one, do not think you know the taste of Pu-erh.
This type probably in common use all pure, organic Chinese teas to impart health. It is shown that the polyphenols (anti-oxidant chemicals) contained in tea can destroy free radicals. Free radicals in both cardiovascular disease and cancer situations are involved. The levels are lower than in green tea but still significantly, resulting in a healthy drink Pu-erh.
This tea is very often used as the basis of decline (and weight loss) used tea. Surely it is a low-calorie alternative to other beverages, such as it is made without milk or sugar, but it needs a lot more research under strictly controlled conditions to see if it really helps. Check in forums on the subject, some people swear by it and claim that it has been very successful, while others say that they have noticed no difference. Maybe it only works for some? Whatever the truth, it ought not be used as part of a diet and exercise program as a silver bullet that solves obesity.
Getting hold of this tea can sometimes be problematic, only offer very few tea shops, unless they are high quality and sell gourmet teas. To buy in health food stores is not always possible, they tend to have green teas and especially teas in tea bags, which are processed into strong to retain the flavor and goodness. However, if you are willing to buy on the Internet, there are many retailers. But beware, not all are equal. Have the best experience of Pu-erh tea, tea bags to prevent, avoid the cheap. Choose pure, organic loose varieties - these are more expensive, but give you the best taste and aroma.
In summary, the complexity, the regional variation and the level of oxidation of a variety of different flavors in a single type of tea try to create more and you'll see what I mean.

Pay attention to these points when you buy Chinese tea
There are so many tea manufacturers out there that I realized that it can be a little scary think if you want to buy Chinese tea online. I have some Tips and Tricks to help you get started together!
First Sourcing: This is extremely important when purchasing your Chinese tea. You have to see how the tea is based and where it is sourced from. I would even go so far as to speak, to specify if you buy in search of high-quality loose leaf tea is not from other manufacturers that do not clear this information.
Different teas come from different areas of China. A prime example is Puerh tea. Puerh tea is a type of Chinese tea, which comes only from Yunnan. If this is not specified in the product description, do not bother with it!
To seek another good thing is photos from your tea suppliers in the tea farms, this at least shows that they have been to the farm and that they need to know a bit about tea.
Want to find out what the suppliers, the ethical values ??are, I am skeptical about the use of terms such as fair trade, but if a provider is their visits can be checked to farms, etc., then I feel that you are their ethical values confidence. If they do not bother to check farms, purchasing their tea, they would not waste time and money to visit them!
Do not use the services of an attorney, the Law School had gone would not, or would a hire a plumber who was the difference between a rooster and a sink not tell you? So why would you buy tea from someone who knows nothing about this stuff! Check their website for tea information sites and / or blog, which is updated regularly. Personally I like my tea suppliers are as passionate about tea as I am - the more so, in fact! The world of Chinese tea is incredibly in-depth and varied, so that it helps to know a bit about tea before you make your purchase.
Diversity: so this is difficult, you do not want too much change since then how on earth are you ever to make your decision, but you want enough variety because now not variety the spice of life? I often find that tea vendors as containers. A few different teas, you can try before to offer to a larger department.
Allows site customer reviews? You should definitely check this out and see what other people have said about the tea, you are always thinking. You could offer practical tips on how they brewed their tea and the taste that might differ from what the seller said. Are there any bad reviews? Check them out, but do not let them scare you, learn from that customer experiences! We all have different tastes, so you can not allow reviews that dictate your decisions but they can chose a helpful tool in which Chinese tea is right for you!
You should also check what the people. About the company on social media, the web sites such as Facebook and Twitter, and while you are there, say the company profile should be reviewed You can benefit from exclusive offers and information by following / liking the company.
An obviously important! As you are looking loose-leaf Chinese tea online, you may be interested to hear more than the meager teabags. Well, I'll you in on a little secret: this means that you must be willing to part with a little more money. The thing is, if a single Estate mixed offered Chinese tea on a tea bag? Low quality that you want and choose how much you are willing to pay for it Did you spend an idea of ??how much money you want and look around. Price is not everything, but I think that as a rule in the world of Chinese tea, you get what you pay for! Artisan handcrafted teas, they cost a little bit more, but that's why the Probe-Packungen/Exploration-Boxen are so valuable to you as a consumer, so use this to your advantage!
Some would say this is a small point, but I am a lover of instant gratification, so if I wait a week for my new tea coming chances are that you have lost me as a consumer. Some companies offer free shipping if you spend a certain amount.
One thing you need to remember before you gasp at the price of shipping, the price includes all postage and packaging is often subsidized by the tea company.
What do you make of it is when you are in the world of loose-leaf Chinese tea, you must do some research to be immersed, and above all, make sure the tea company, has selected you own a broad knowledge base! One might even try to contact the company to make a recommendation! Based on your preferences and needs
