Introduction of Pu 'er tea

First of all, Pu 'er tea has a very long history. As early as 3,000 years ago, during the tea-picking period of King Wu, Pu people, the ancestors who planted tea in Yunnan, had already offered tea to Zhou Wuwang, but there was no name of Pu 'er tea at that time. In the Ming Dynasty, people began to name this kind of tea after the place name of Pu 'er, which was called "Pu 'er tea". It was not until the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty to the early years of the Qing Dynasty that it was finally named Pu 'er tea, which has been in use ever since.

According to today's definition and classification standards, Pu 'er tea before 1970 was basically raw tea, and ordinary people, dignitaries and even the royal court drank raw tea. Then the definition of Pu 'er tea at that time should mainly refer to: Pu 'er tea widely circulated in the market and often consumed by people.
