Among the many health teas, Liubao tea and Pu'er tea are both good. People who have seen Liubao tea and ripe Pu'er tea may think that they are similar in terms of dry tea appearance, soup color, taste, etc.

"Liubao Tea" and "Pu'er Ripe Tea" look very similar, are they related?

Liubao tea is produced in Wuzhou, Guangxi, and belongs to post-fermented tea, and its history is relatively long, it is said to have more than 1,000 years. Yunnan's ripe Pu'er tea is also a post-fermented tea, the history of production is relatively short, it was a trial production that began in 1973, and the production process of Yunnan Pu'er ripe tea originated from Shuifa tea in Guangdong.

In terms of production process, Guangxi Liubao tea is very different from Yunnan Pu'er tea, and the maturation process of Liubao tea is divided into pre-fermentation and post-fermentation. After the fresh leaves are kneaded, they will be fermented for the first time, and then dried after fermentation, and then returned to the water for fermentation, and then steamed with steam, and then fermented in the pile again. The ripe Pu'er tea is only post-fermented, and it is fermented once with the backwater of Pu'er raw tea, unlike the processing process of roasting and steaming in the middle of Liubao tea.

From the perspective of processing technology, Yunnan Pu'er ripe tea is somewhat affected by the production process of Liubao tea, such as backwater Wudui. However, Yunnan Pu'er ripe tea has been improved by reference and creatively changed according to the characteristics of Yunnan large-leaf tea, and the Pu'er ripe tea produced has now been loved and recognized by many tea lovers. In terms of production and sales, it has crushed other post-fermented teas, which is enough to show that the quality of Yunnan Pu'er ripe tea is irreplaceable, and it is a true reproduction of the blue out of the blue and better than the blue

The main differences between Pu'er and Liubao tea are the different production process, the different color of the tea soup, and the different taste. The aroma of Pu'er is high, and it is mellow, thick, sweet, fresh and sweet. The aroma of Liubao tea is pure and old, and it is more sweet, mellow, refreshing and smooth.

The fried green tea used in the Liubao Mao tea process is the unity of drying and killing, and the tea leaves are tightly knotted after the fried green tea leaves, the color is gray and green, and the green gas is basically emanated, and there is a ripe fragrance; Pu'er tea is sun-dried, which is dried by sunlight, and the tea leaves of sun-dried green tea are coarse, dark green in color, and high in aroma.

2. The difference in the color of the tea soup

The two are both ripe tea soups, and the relative Liubao tea soup is brighter, bright and clear, while Pu'er tea is more red and deep. Due to the different degrees of fermentation, the bottom of the leaves of these two teas is very different, the bottom of Pu'er tea is reddish-brown, the bottom of Liubao tea is black-brown, and the bottom of the leaves of aged Liubao tea is black and bright.

3. The difference in taste

The aroma of Liubao tea is pure and old, but it is not obvious, the aroma is highlighted after tasting, and the taste is more sweet, mellow, refreshing and smooth, and betel nut fragrant Liubao tea gives people a cool and refreshing feeling. Pu'er tea has a high aroma, and the new tea has an obvious green taste, and the taste is more mellow, thick, sweet, fresh and sweet. According to the experience of tea lovers, the taste of Liubao tea aged for more than 10 years is similar to that of Pu'er old raw tea that has been aged for 40 years.
