Functions of pu-erh tea

1. Fight fatigue and improve mental alertness and focus.
2. Reduce blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipids.
3. Antioxidant & Antu-aging.
4. Inhibit the increasing of cancer cell.

 Yunnan big leaf tea is richer than other teas, so the bitter taste of Pu-erh tea is relatively heavy, but after some years of natural aging, bitterness will slowly turn into sweet.

 Good raw tea often has the feeling of “the mouth is bitter and into the throat”. This “bitter, sputum” taste is often called the “convergence” of tea after it enters the mouth and is perceived until it subsides. The tea with strong astringency, bitterness and astringency is quickly felt by the mouth, and quickly disappears and turns into a sweet taste; the tea with weaker astringency, the bitterness and astringency are slowed down, or it will not recede directly. The treatment of the bitter taste of Pu-erh tea is controlled by brewing method.

Sweetness is a pleasant taste. The long-lasting return of Pu-erh tea often makes many tea friends intoxicated. The sweetness in tea is so elegant. When it comes to "sweet", you will think of "sweetness". People tend to connect "sweet". However, individuals believe that "sweet" and "sweetness" are different and cannot be equated.

Sweetness is a taste, corresponding to bitterness. The taste buds of sweetness in the distribution of taste buds on the tongue are mainly the tip of the tongue. Sweetness is not a taste, It is more like an aftertaste, and the perception of sweetness is the cheeks, the back of the mouth and the roots, throat and esophagus of the mouth. The return of sweetness of tea is an aftertaste produced by the combined action of saliva secreted by bitterness and the contents of the tea soup. 

Therefore, when I buy my favorite Pu-erh tea, I mainly feel that the bitterness in the mouth can be changed, the bitterness can be sweetened, the sweetness is changed, and the level is changeable. This is normal bitterness. On the contrary, bitterness stays in the mouth, the lock does not change, there is problem if it tastes with no sweetness or no bitter taste!
