How Many Creative Ways to Drink Pu'er Tea Do You Know?_Tea News

Chinese people have never limited tea drinking to plain consumption; on the contrary, many complementary "ingredients" that go well with tea often become great helpers in adjusting flavor and maintaining health. Even Pu'er tea, a representative of "pure drinking," has many "additives" to put in.

Ripe Pu'er + Honey

Cool the brewed ripe Pu'er tea slightly, then add honey. The tea tastes very smooth, sweet but not cloying. Because ripe Pu'er tea is mild in nature, adding honey can also nourish the stomach, protect it, and help cleanse the intestines and detoxify.

Ripe Pu'er + Chrysanthemum + Goji Berries

The brewing method is very simple: just put Pu'er tea leaves, chrysanthemum, and goji berries together and brew. The resulting tea has a unique refreshing and fragrant taste.

Ripe Pu'er + Rose / Osmanthus

Adding floral tea to ripe Pu'er tea enhances both aroma and beauty. Usually, rose or osmanthus is chosen. After brewing, the aged fragrance of ripe Pu'er intertwines with the floral scent, making the tea instantly more romantic and gentle.

Ripe Pu'er + Aged Tangerine Peel

Adding aged tangerine peel or dried orange peel to ripe Pu'er tea is a good way to soothe the throat and clear phlegm in winter. However, the tea has a slightly bitter taste, which some people find uniquely flavorful.

Ripe Pu'er + Milk

Yes, it's to make a cup of Pu'er milk tea! Don't think that only black tea can be used for milk tea. In fact, milk tea made with ripe Pu'er tea has a mellow and smooth taste, and it's delicious!

Perhaps many friends are wondering: why are all the "additives" for ripe Pu'er, and none for raw Pu'er? This is mainly because ripe Pu'er, after fermentation, becomes much milder in nature, much like the "versatile king" black tea. If you really want to do something special with raw Pu'er, there is one way: raw Pu'er + ice cubes. But since we have entered autumn and winter, it's not recommended to try it now. If you're interested, you can give it a try next summer. (Except for those with a taste for the extreme.)

Raw Pu'er + Ice Cubes

Adding ice cubes means cold-brewing Pu'er tea, usually raw Pu'er. The taste is cool and sweet, and it is very effective for quenching thirst, preventing heatstroke, and refreshing the mind, making it perfect for hot seasons. However, since the tea is cold, those with weak stomachs or a cold constitution should not drink too much.
