Sheng Pu refers to raw Puerh tea.
Puerh raw tea is a kind of post-fermented tea, strictly speaking, Puerh raw tea does not belong to any of the six major types of tea planned today, neither black tea, nor black tea or green tea. Relying on the unique ecological environment of the Yunnan region, Pu'er tea has a rich content material that distinguishes it from other teas, coupled with back to the sunshine green and other processes, making Pu'er raw tea must be stored for a certain number of years before it is suitable for drinking, but also into the answer belongs to the Pu'er raw tea, "the older the more fragrant" characteristics.
The production process of Pu-erh raw tea is very simple: the fresh leaves of Yunnan's large-leafed tea trees are first made into sun-dried green tea, and then pressed into cakes or lumps. The so-called sun is a green tea processing technology, drying by air drying. Therefore, we can assume that Sheng Pu should be categorized as green tea.
The fact that Sheng Pu is not green tea is related to the characteristics of Sheng Pu. The flavor of green tea of common tea varieties will only get worse after a long time. However, due to the varieties of tea trees, geographical environment, climatic conditions and other reasons, Yunnan's tea trees are rich in a variety of substances. The raw tea produced undergoes marvelous changes during storage, changes that often lead to richer quality characteristics.
