PU'ER TEA

Dear valued visitors,

I am a Pu'er tea lover and I  have a fair collection of such teas back to 2004. Today, I write to share with you about this tea. There is a unique way of drinking this type of tea so as to get the best from it,

How to Drink Pu'er

When drinking Pu'er, drink in a small sip so as enjoy its good taste. Open up your mouth as widely as possible when sipping the tea. Try to keep your upper and lower teeth apart when you close your mouth. This is important because it will enlarge the room inside your mouth. Relax the muscles inside mouth and enlarge the room between tongue and upper jaw. This will enable tea liquor to soak into your lower gum and back of your tongue. When swallowing tea, reduce the room inside mouth, and press tea liquor down through your throat. Tea liquor under your tongue will then be pressed out during this process, and create a bubbling feeling. This is what is called "Ming Quan (Sounding Spring)".


Pu'er Tasting Terms

Mouth Tasting - Sip a small amount of tea into your mouth and draw air in from two sides of your mouth. This will make tea liquor tumble at the adjoining area of mouth and nose, and enable you to smell the aroma of tea while drinking.

Lingering Charm of Tongue - This is a unique experience only associated with Pu'er. When drinking Pu'er, let tea flow from tip to the end of tongue, and come down through your throat. Feel the long lasting aroma lingering on the tongue, enjoy the calmness, and experience the spiritual comprehensions that Pu'er brings.

So try it out and trust you will enjoy it. Please share with me if you have other way of drinking tea. Have  good fun,

James
