How does the flavor of Pu'er raw tea change with age?

Puer tea naturally matures over time through a unique post-fermentation process. Its flavors soften, bitterness fades, and the aroma becomes purer and more lasting. With age, the tea liquor deepens from golden to rich red, and the fragrance develops layers of aged, woody, honeyed, and camphor notes. Smooth, mellow, and sweet on the finish, Puer tea truly becomes more fragrant and valuable as it ages.

· 1–3 years (Young Tea): Strong and slightly bitter, with fresh floral, honey, and light aromas. Ideal for those who enjoy a brisk, vibrant taste.

· 3–5 years (Transition): Bitterness softens, tea becomes rounder, with honeyed and fruity notes emerging. Great for experiencing early aging.

· 5–10 years (Mature): Smooth, mellow, and rich; liquor turns bright reddish-orange with layered aromas of honey, wood, and aged notes. Most tea lovers find 5–8 years the most enjoyable.

· 10+ years (Aged Tea): Gentle and thick, with pronounced aged aroma and no bitterness. Perfect for collectors and those who appreciate deep, mature flavors

What 's the difference between Raw (Sheng) and Ripe (Shu) Puer?

• Raw Pu'er (Sheng): Young tea is fresh and slightly bitter; with aging, it becomes mellow and smooth. Aroma evolves from fresh and floral to aged, woody, and honeyed.

• Ripe Pu'er (Shu): Undergoes artificial fermentation for a faster aging process. Smooth, mellow, with little bitterness, stable aroma, and gentle on the stomach.
