How to choose the right Pu'er ripened Tea for yourself
Taste preference: Consider whether you prefer a rich and strong, smooth and sweet, or other unique flavors. If you like a strong taste, choose one with a heavier fermentation degree; if you prefer Sweetness, look for one made from better raw materials and with moderate fermentation.
Body reaction: If your stomach is more sensitive, it's advisable to choose ripened tea with moderate fermentation and less stimulation; if your constitution tends to be cold, ripened tea is generally more suitable.
Aroma type: Some ripened teas have different aromas such as aged, jujube, glutinous rice, etc. Choose based on your preference for aroma.
Brand and reputation: Choose well-known brands or manufacturers with good reputations, as their quality is generally more reliable.
Price range: Based on your financial capability, determine an acceptable price range and select high-quality teas within this range.
Tasting: Try to sample the tea before purchasing to judge whether it suits you through actual tasting.
Observe the appearance: Ripened teas with neat and clean leaves and fewer fragments usually indicate more care in both raw materials and production techniques.
Tea infusion color: A bright, clear, and reddish infusion often reflects better quality.
Leaf base: Soft, elastic, and evenly colored leaf bases generally indicate higher quality ripened tea.
