Mastering the Concentration of Pu'er Tea

Tea News · Jun 18, 2026


 

Pu'er tea is characterized by its rich content, high water extract, durability in brewing, and noticeable bitterness and astringency. Therefore, when tasting Pu'er tea, we must pay attention to controlling the concentration of the tea soup to suit our own taste. To achieve this, the following two aspects need to be considered:

1. Separate the tea soup from the tea leaves

The reason for separating the tea soup from the tea leaves is to avoid letting the leaves steep too long in the soup, which would affect the concentration and taste. A strainer cup or two cups can be used for this purpose.

2. Method for controlling the concentration of the tea soup:

How to control the concentration of the tea soup? It is done by adjusting the amount of tea leaves used and the brewing time. More tea leaves or a longer brewing time results in a stronger concentration. Fewer tea leaves or a shorter brewing time results in a lighter concentration. By experimenting with the amount and brewing time, you can find the taste that suits you after one or two tries.

The above two points are actually very simple. With a little time spent trying, comparing, and sensing, you can find your own brewing method and your own tea flavor. Still, the saying goes: what suits you is good; there is no best, only the most suitable! As long as we feel with our hearts and have a good state of mind, we can enjoy good Pu'er tea anywhere.
