Presumably, all people who love to drink Pu'er tea have heard a saying: the biggest feature of Pu'er tea is that the more old and fragrant it is! So, you don't want to buy it one by one, mention it one by one, or even buy it one by one!
Save new tea and drink old tea!
You must applaud this, you must give a thumbs up, you must admire this clever brain!
This is probably the most deceptive, confusing, and misleading sentence in the world!
To say something nice, this is called "marketing", and to say something bad is called "cheating".
Because these people did not fully tell you the whole truth about Pu'er tea, they only selectively said something good, and the bad side was deliberately hidden.
So: what you can see, what you can hear, is what people want you to see;
In turn, what people don't want you to see and don't want you to hear is the key to the problem.
The summary is a sentence: "the more aged the more fragrant" is just to divert the focus, divert attention, the truth is that the more old and more poisonous!
Everyone remembers a sentence: incense things are not necessarily good, good things are not necessarily incense! Adults should adhere to the dialectical method of looking at the problem!
Incense does not equal good! Incense does not equal health! Incense does not equal good for the body! Don't get caught in someone else's trap again!
Why is pu'er ripe tea "more old and more poisonous"? It's not a deliberate smear! This requires understanding its process - sprinkler heap fermentation!
This is also a tall name, in fact, it is more accurate to call "compost fermentation"!
The purpose of fermentation, for example, is a word that often appears in cultural relics counterfeiting: old!
So what does "old" depend on? microbe! Huge amounts of microbes!
Biology generally divides the things in this world into three main categories: bacteria, viruses, and fungi! Fungi are mainly divided into mold, yeast and mushrooms.
Pu'er ripe tea will produce a large number of bacteria and fungi when it is fermented by sprinkling water! Some of these bacteria and fungi produce bacterial toxins and mycotoxins after metabolism or secondary metabolism.
Like aflatoxin, what is it? Interested friends can search under! Such as vomiting toxin, vormatoxin, sporopenem toxin, and so on...
Among them, the bacteria mainly have "Bacillus", E. coli, Salmonella, etc., among them, good bacteria and harmful bacteria, such as Bacillus cereus, Bacillus macrospora, Bacillus licheniformis, Bacillus amylogenes, etc., interested can see the video I sent before.
In a word, when Pu'er tea is fermented, it will produce some beneficial bacteria, but at the same time, it will also produce some harmful bacteria!
This is a problem caused by the natural nature of its craftsmanship, which cannot be avoided! This is it: fish and bear paws cannot be combined, and the core of all things is philosophy.
Is there a similar problem with Pu'er raw tea? Yes! Some tea leaves that are stored for a long time have a similar problem.
