What kind of tea does Shengpu belong to

Pu'er tea, a kind of tea that everyone is very familiar with, has many producing areas, but Yunnan's Pu'er tea is the most famous. Pu'er tea is generally divided into two kinds: raw Pu'er and cooked Pu'er. The two are different. Raw Pu'er is unfermented tea, and it does not need special treatment after picking, so many people think that raw Pu'er belongs to green tea.

But in fact, Pu'er raw tea is a kind of post-fermented tea. Strictly speaking, Pu'er raw tea does not belong to any of the six major tea categories planned today. It is neither black tea nor black tea or green tea. Relying on the unique ecological environment in Yunnan, Pu'er tea is rich in substances different from other teas, coupled with the production of sun-drying and other processes, so that Pu'er raw tea must be stored for a certain year before it is suitable for tasting. It has also achieved the "the older the fragrant" characteristic of Pu'er raw tea.

It is true that Shengpu was green tea when it was first made, but with the change of time, it is no longer green tea, because it loses the fresh and strong quality characteristics of green tea, but turns to the softness and mellow of black tea.

At the same time, it can not be regarded as black tea, because after all, no matter how old it is, its quality characteristics are completely different from those of cooked tea.
