Tips for brewing Pu-erh


The matters needing attention in bubble puer tea are for reference only.

1. Amount of tea:
 
When brewing Pu-erh tea, the amount of tea input is closely related to tea drinking habits, brewing methods, and the personality of tea, which is full of change. In terms of tea drinking habits, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi are used to drinking tea. Yunnan has also been drinking heavily. Jiangsu, Zhejiang and the North like to drink lightly. As far as the tea drinking habits of the Yunnan people are concerned, the ratio of the amount of tea to water used to brew normal quality tea is generally 1:40 or 1:45. For consumers in other regions, you can use this as a reference to adjust the concentration of tea soup by increasing or decreasing the amount of tea, or you can adjust the concentration of tea soup by controlling the speed of brewing rhythm. In terms of tea properties, the amount of tea added also varies. For example, cooked tea and old tea can be appropriately increased, raw tea and new tea can be appropriately reduced, and so on. Don't stand still.

2. Tea water temperature:
 
The mastery of water temperature has an important effect on the display of tea properties. High temperature is conducive to emitting tea fragrance, and is conducive to rapid leaching of tea flavor. However, the high temperature is also prone to bitterness, which easily burns some high-grade tea. Determining the water temperature must be different for tea. For example, thicker cake brick tea, compacted tea, and sencha tea are suitable for brewing; high-grade bud tea (such as the new Palace Pu-erh) and high-grade green cakes that are relatively soft are suitable for proper cooling and avoiding high temperature Tender tea is cooked. Most parts of Yunnan belong to the plateau, and the boiling water temperature is lower than the coastal and plain areas. For example, the boiling water temperature in Kunming is about 94 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for brewing most cooked tea. For Sheng Pu, in addition to some high-grade tea, most can also be directly brewed with boiling water. When brewing some high-grade new tea, in addition to directly lowering the temperature, you can also reduce the water temperature by not adding a lid or boiling water to avoid the "water stagnation" caused by hot tea.

3. Brewing time.
 
The purpose of controlling the length of brewing time is to make the aroma and taste of tea fully and accurately displayed. As mentioned earlier, due to the particularity of Pu-erh tea's manufacturing process and the selection of raw materials, the brewing method and length are determined. Mastering the brewing time, as far as the law is concerned: long brewing time for old and old tea, short brewing time for new and delicate tea; long brewing time for hand-twisted tea, short brewing time for mechanically twisted tea. The specific grasp should be determined according to the characteristics of tea. For some new teas with a bitter and astringent taste, control the amount of tea when brewing and shorten the brewing time to improve the taste.

The golden temperature of Pu-erh tea brewing and storage


When we are soaking our feet, the water temperature of 40 is most comfortable; when we are eating, 50 food is the best for gastrointestinal health; when we get up early, a glass of warm water at 35 ~ 40 can help us soothe Intestinal tract; air conditioning on hot summer days, 26 can make our bodies better adapt to changes in indoor and outdoor temperature differences.
For Pu-erh tea, the temperature has always affected the quality of tea from growth to making, brewing, and storage.
 
From the perspective of consumers, growth and production will not be said. But when you buy a Pu-erh tea, how do you properly grasp the "golden" temperature to experience the most comfortable taste of this tea and properly store and collect Pu-erh tea? Let ’s explore them together.
First, how to grasp the temperature of Pu-erh tea brewing?
 
Pu-erh tea is best brewed with pure water, mineral water and mountain spring water. In terms of temperature, we usually brew with boiling water of 90-100 degrees Celsius. It is not necessary to repeatedly over-boil. Properly retained oxygen can make tea taste more active.
 
Bajiao Ting uses the "Runhuo" technology to ferment spring tea. The cooked tea produced on this basis is based on "thick soup, high fragrance, and moisturizing", and is brewed with a suitable temperature. "Rungan" and " "Activity" will also be more adequate.
To learn to taste tea, it is indispensable to taste the fragrance. Apart from the sweetness and astringency that can be felt in the taste buds, the aroma of Pu-erh tea will also behave differently at different temperatures.
 
Pu-erh tea generally has the strongest aroma at high temperatures, while some aromas perform best at slightly lower temperatures. Tea soup is most suitable for mouth-watering at 50 ° C. The temperature is comfortable and the Pu-erh tea evaluation will be more accurate. May wish to experience the subtle changes from daily drinking tea.
2. How does Pu-erh tea store the temperature?
 
Summer is approaching, and the temperature in some areas may even reach over 40 degrees, even if it is dry and protected from light. Various types of tea will behave differently in the face of high temperature. For example, the color of green tea will change, the taste of black tea will become stale, and the aroma of flower tea will be excessively emitted.
The same is true for Pu-erh, where the storage temperature is too high, the microbial reaction is strong, and the tea is easy to become acidic and spoiled. If the storage temperature is too low, it may happen that the contents of tea may be reflected slowly even if stored for several years. It's too big.
 
For tea friends who have a large amount of Pu-erh tea in their homes or love to collect, they must know how to save Pu-erh tea at an appropriate temperature. In general, it is not necessary to deliberately create a temperature for tea storage. At normal room temperature, it is more suitable between 20-30 ° C all year round.
Today, Pu-erh tea is all about being stored in a “dry warehouse” to create proper temperature, proper ventilation, and proper drying for the storage of Pu-erh tea, so as to get older and more fragrant.
 
Bajiaoting matured tea is aged in a professional dry warehouse for 1-2 years. At an appropriate temperature, the heaped flavors and odors are dispersed, ensuring that when the cooked tea products are on the market, there is no need to wait for the heaped flavors to dissipate. People can already have a comfortable taste.
