Pu 'er raw tea tastes different from cooked tea. Raw tea is naturally fermented, and cooked tea is artificially ripened. From the taste point of view, raw tea is mainly bitter, astringent, sweet and fluid-producing, and its aroma includes flowers, fruits and honey. The taste of Pu 'er cooked tea is mainly mellow, mild and smooth, because cooked tea is made by artificial rapid fermentation. In the process of fermentation, due to man-made reasons, tea properties will be destroyed to a certain extent, thus making tea properties mild. Cooked tea has a good protective and stomach nourishing effect, so cooked tea is more suitable for middle-aged and elderly people and friends who have just come into contact with Pu 'er tea.
If you like bitter and exciting tea, it is recommended to choose raw tea. However, for tea lovers who have a poor stomach and cannot accept stimulation, it is not suitable for drinking raw tea. It will be better to choose cooked tea to nourish the stomach. Of course, if you can't accept the bitter taste of raw tea, choose cooked tea. However, although the bitterness of raw tea (new tea) is obvious, if it is left for several years, it will naturally transform and the bitterness will gradually weaken.
So, what are the functions of raw tea and cooked tea that we often drink?
