Often said "not suffering is not
tea." Bitter and glutinous rice is originally a unique taste of tea. The
bitterness of Pu-erh tea is mainly derived from the chemical changes produced
by the tea itself and the manufacturing process. Yunnan big leaf tea is richer
than other teas, so the bitter taste of Pu-erh tea is relatively heavy, but
after some years of natural aging, bitterness will slowly turn into sweet.
Good raw tea often has the feeling
of “the mouth is bitter and into the throat”. This “bitter, sputum” taste is
often called the “convergence” of tea after it enters the mouth and is
perceived until it subsides. The tea with strong astringency, bitterness and
astringency is quickly felt by the mouth, and quickly disappears and turns into
a sweet taste; the tea with weaker astringency, the bitterness and astringency
are slowed down, or it will not recede directly. The treatment of the bitter
taste of Pu-erh tea is controlled by brewing method.
Sweetness is a pleasant taste. The long-lasting return of Pu-erh tea often
makes many tea friends intoxicated. The sweetness in tea is so elegant. When
it comes to "sweet", you will think of "sweetness". People tend to connect "
sweet". However, individuals believe that "sweet" and "sweetness" are
different and cannot be equated.
Sweetness is a taste, corresponding to bitterness. The taste buds of
sweetness in the distribution of taste buds on the tongue are mainly the tip of
the tongue. Sweetness is not a taste, It is more like an aftertaste, and the
perception of sweetness is the cheeks, the back of the mouth and the roots,
throat and esophagus of the mouth. The return of sweetness of tea is an
aftertaste produced by the combined action of saliva secreted by bitterness
and the contents of the tea soup.
Therefore, when I buy my favorite Pu-erh tea, I mainly feel that the bitterness
in the mouth can be changed, the bitterness can be sweetened, the sweetness
is changed, and the level is changeable. This is normal bitterness. On the
contrary, bitterness stays in the mouth, the lock does not change, there is
problem if it tastes with no sweetness or no bitter taste!
