About puerh tea?

Any tea are made from tea leaf, however, puerh tea is distinctive in two points.

1．Made from Yunnan big tea tree.
2．Post fermentation process

Although all tea are made from tea leave(Camellia sinensis), the tea leaf used in making puerh tea is different in version, such as Mengu big tea leaf, Fenchin big tea leaf, etc. Different version is different in flavour as well as in taste.
Post fermentation is unique in black tea (black tea in Chinese definition. “normal” black tea is Red tea in China). Puerh tea is finished through post fermentation process. It takes few weeks (cooked puerh) to decades (green puerh).

As you learn more about puerh tea, you come across this question.
The answer is “Puerh tea is black tea, however, fresh green puerh can be called green tea”. Puerh tea is made from “half fermented” green tea. “Half fermented” means acidizing enzyme in active by roasting tea leave like green tea. Thus fresh green puerh is just like a green tea however, unlike green tea, enzyme also “half” inactivated. Tealeaf still continues fermentation after it is made and fresh green puerh turns to black tea after years of time.
Cooked puerh is black tea whether it is new or old.

Wrap tea original paper and store puerh tea in airy place. Avoid direct sun light. Fridge is not recommended as smell of other food can be absorbed by tealeaf. If tealeaf is packed in sealed plastic bag, it is OK to store in fridge.

There are various way to infuse tea. My recommendation is to use 3-5g tealeaf with 500cc boiling water. Leave it for 5min. Don’t forget to rinse tea first. It does make a difference. Refer to How to infuse.

How to infuse

Puerh tea has caffeine like other tea. Contents of caffeine is reduced in cooked puerh and aged green puerh, however, it still has caffeine. Caffeine can be evaporated by roasting tealeaf.
