Long history of Pu'er tea

Bronze Tea Fragrance Yunnan is the world's tea tree origin, the country, the world's wide variety of tea roots are in Yunnan's Pu'er tea production area. Pu'er tea has a very long history, according to the earliest written records - Eastern Jin Dynasty? According to the earliest written records - the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Chang Qu "Huayang Guo Zhi" deduced that as early as three thousand years ago, King Wu of Zhou period, Yunnan tea pioneer Pu people have been offering tea to King Wu of Zhou, but then there is no Pu'er tea this name.

The name of Pu'er tea in the early Middle Ages or because of the name of the tribe, or because of the name of the place. To the Tang Dynasty, Pu'er tea began large-scale planting production, known as "Pu'er tea"; Song and Ming Dynasties, is the Central Plains gradually recognize the Pu'er tea period, and began to play an important role in the country's social and economic trade.

Near the ancient heyday to the Qing Dynasty, Pu'er tea reached its first heyday, "Dianhai Yuheng Zhi" said: "Pu'er tea is famous in the world ...... Tea Mountain Zhou 800 miles, hundreds of thousands of people into the mountains for tea, tea buyers, transported everywhere"; Pu'er tea began to become the Imperial Tribute Tea, became the national tea. Imperial Tribute Tea, a national gift to foreign envoys; the last emperor Puyi said that the Imperial Palace, "summer drink Longjing, winter drink Pu'er"; ...... Ruan Fu, a scholar of the Qing Dynasty, said: Pu'er tea is famous all over the world, the capital is especially important. The end of the Qing Dynasty, early Ming Dynasty, is the highest price of Pu-erh tea period, the scholar Chai Calyx "Fan Tian Lu Cong Lu" records that "Pu-erh tea ...... sex warm flavor thick, produced Yiwu, Yibang is particularly good, the price of equal and gold. Tea tasters said: Pu'er than Longjing, as if Shaoling than Yuanming, the knowledge of the Ai - that is to say: the price of good Pu'er tea was twice the price of silver (or gold)! Between the Republic of China and the war, Pu-erh tea and get some development, a lot of this period of the old tea there are still surviving, we are now drinking up the taste of the very good, but because of the price is very high, counterfeiters abound.

Modern silence between the outbreak of the war until the establishment of new China, Yunnan tea industry throughout the depression and barren; but a long time after the liberation of Yunnan tea production emphasis on black tea, green tea; did not inherit and carry forward the fine traditions of Pu'er tea; and even a large area of deforestation and destruction of hundreds of years of old tea plantations instead of planting asexual reproduction of the terrace tea, the traditional process of seven cake tea interrupted for nearly half a century; however, it is worth mentioning that However, it is worth mentioning that in 1975, Yunnan began the production of Puerh ripe tea.

In recent years, the climax of the social and economic development and living standards to improve, in recent years, people began to pay attention to a strong health care function and charming taste of Pu-erh tea, popularity from the Nanyang Hong Kong and Taiwan to Guangdong, back to Yunnan, and then quickly affect the whole country, and so, follow the trend of the speculators are very much, counterfeits and shoddy products from time to time; fish and dragons, mixed, chaotic clouds flying degrees; three to five years, the storm of heat and cold. Fortunately, during this period of time, the traditional Pu'er tea traditional technology has been restored, people's cognition of the value of Pu'er tea, the quality of the cognition is tending to be rational.

Editing the National Standard for Pu-erh Tea

The National Standard for Pu-erh Tea was introduced in 2008 and will be formally implemented on December 1, 2008, which is the first national standard for Pu-erh tea.

The national standard for Pu'er tea defines that Pu'er tea must be made from Yunnan large-leafed sun-blue tea within the scope of the geographical indication protection, and be made with specific processing technology within the scope of the geographical indication protection. The AQSIQ stipulates that the scope of protection of Pu'er Tea Geographical Indication products is: 639 townships in 11 cities and townships in Yunnan Province, including Pu'er City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture and Kunming City.

The national standard for Pu'er tea was jointly issued by the Information Office of the Yunnan Provincial Government, Yunnan Provincial Department of Agriculture, and Yunnan Provincial Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision. China Tea Circulation Association Secretary General Wu Xiduan told reporters that the non-production of tea within the scope of the protection of geographical indications can not be called Pu'er tea, Yunnan tea enterprises to buy tea outside the scope of the protection of geographical indications made of tea can not be called Pu'er tea.

Wu Xiduan explained that in the first two years, because Pu'er tea is the business speculation is very hot, Fujian, Guangxi, Guizhou and Burma, Vietnam and other areas around Fujian, there are many tea enterprises to invest in processing Pu'er tea, resulting in market confusion. Although in 2008, with the gradual cooling of the Pu-erh tea market, most of these enterprises have withdrawn from the processing of Pu-erh tea, but in order to further standardize the market, to avoid this situation again, the introduction of national standards for Pu-erh tea is still very necessary.

It is understood that, as of the end of September 2008, Yunnan Province **** 852 tea production and processing enterprises to obtain a food production license, only these enterprises can produce Pu-erh tea, and the quality of Pu-erh tea can be affixed to the geographical indications of the product Pu-erh tea logo.

Edit Pu'er Tea Functions

I. Pu'er Tea Tea is mild and does not hurt the stomach. Modern people tense, stressful life style, gastric disease is common, gas and blood is weak, food is not normal, the general light fermentation tea for people who love tea, there is indeed "unbearable lightness" of the scruples.

Second, Pu'er tea is a scientifically based health drink. Modern people "to life for money", abound, Pu-erh tea cancer prevention health care function confirmed by the medical profession, "to small money to protect the long life" concept, not only strengthened the beliefs of tea lovers, while absorbing many new tea friends. In addition, Pu-erh tea fat elimination, weight loss and slimming pharmacological properties, but also the popularity of countless people who love beauty and body shaping, middle-aged fat people's hearts.

Third, Pu-erh tea is easy to brew and easy to operate. Properly aged Pu-erh tea, not bitter, not astringent, even if a long time to dip into the throat, neither need to be like the high mountain tea points of money must be compared, but is the fun of tea, and even not lose the convenience of tea bags.

Fourth, Pu-erh tea is easy to preserve, and the tea is rich in change. From a certain definition, Pu-erh tea is a "living organism", its main feature lies in the completion of the body of the tea, the continued "post-fermentation" (or ripening, aging), with the extension of time, its flavor conversion more stable and introverted, the different aging period of the tea body. The flavors possessed by tea bodies of different aging periods are all different, and this is also a way for tea lovers to participate in the "production and completion of tea". In fact, the final completion of a cake of Puerh tea may last for dozens of years, or nearly a hundred years, because from the time the leaves leave the tree until the hot water is rinsed into the pot, it is in the "modern tensegrity". The "modern progressive", all the time in the process of transformation.

Fifth, Pu-erh tea is a "drinkable antique". Few beverages or food products have the dual characteristics of "drinkable and storable" of Pu-erh tea, "everyone can drink it, the older it is, the higher the price is", the new Pu-erh tea is a daily beverage available to everyone, but the old Pu-erh tea is "priced at the same time as gold", unattainable. If on the left end of the "Puerh Scale" is the "Collector's Value", it is the "Durable Wealth" that can only go up but not down; while on the right end is the "Drinking Value". The left end of the scale is the "collection value", which is the "durable wealth" that only rises and does not fall; while the right end is the "drinking value", which is the "consumption wealth" that is less than one piece of drink.
