Comparing raw tea with cooked tea, we must first analyze the mechanism of Pu 'er tea to lose weight. The weight-reducing and lipid-lowering effect of Pu 'er tea mainly comes from two factors: one is the comprehensive effect of tea polyphenols, chlorophyll, vitamin C and other effective components, and the other is the comprehensive effect of various beneficial bacteria formed during fermentation (the role of bacteria can reduce the absorption of triglycerides and sugars in the small intestine and improve the decomposition of waist and abdomen fat by enzymes).
In the early stage of raw tea (no obvious fermentation transformation within 1-2 years), the weight loss effect comes from factor one. With the natural fermentation transformation in the storage process (this transformation process comes down quickly in the high humidity environment in the south, and the cake stored naturally for one year will change obviously), its weight loss effect gradually begins to be formed by two factors. The artificially fermented Pu 'er cooked tea is to lose weight and fat by the above two factors.
Therefore, on the whole, the weight-loss and lipid-lowering effect of fermented Pu 'er tea (whether it is artificially fermented cooked tea or naturally fermented raw tea) is better than that of raw tea that has not yet been transformed in the new factory.
Don't blindly believe in "aged Pu 'er tea"
Tea experts warned that blindly believing in "Chen" has many misunderstandings. As Pu 'er tea has become hotter and hotter in recent years, the word "Chen" has made Pu 'er worth a hundred times. However, it is difficult for experts to define to what extent the aged Pu 'er is "old". At present, the control of retail stores can only rely on experience. Because most consumers lack understanding of Pu 'er tea, this gives unscrupulous merchants the opportunity to boast that the tea for one or two years is aged tea. In fact, the real "10 years old" is rare in the market! Compared with other teas, Pu 'er is resistant to storage, but it is not appreciated under certain conditions as long as it is stored in any environment. If it is moldy due to improper storage, it will completely lose its drinking and collection value, and consumers can't blindly believe in "old tea".
In addition, some people say that aged Pu 'er tea has a better weight loss effect. However, according to the latest research results of Professor Shao Wanfang of Yunnan Agricultural University and Yang Liuxia, a senior agronomist of Simao Tea Farm, there is no obvious difference in the quality characteristics of Pu 'er tea (cooked tea) after "post-fermentation and heap fermentation" (artificial aging). Therefore, there is no need to deliberately pursue "aged Pu 'er".
Anyone who knows a little about Pu 'er tea knows that in the past, the cooked tea changed from raw tea to mature tea after a long period of aging, while the cooked tea with modern technology only accelerated this process through artificial fermentation. Due to the different market demand and consumption level, there are many grades and varieties of Pu 'er tea products in the market, and the prices are also very different. Choose according to your own spending power, and don't blindly follow suit. And many fake Pu 'er teas are made old. Counterfeiting mainly means accelerating the aging of raw tea through wet storage, making so-called "aged old tea", or making the packaging of tea old to show the sense of obsolescence; In view of the fact that it is difficult for ordinary consumers to identify the authenticity and pros and cons of aged Pu 'er tea, it is suggested that friends who are new to Pu 'er tea should not buy old tea to avoid being fooled. In addition, it is suggested that you buy less and taste more before buying, because Pu 'er tea produced by different manufacturers has different tastes and must suit your own tastes. Please consult knowledgeable people or invite them to drink together after buying.
