What is Rattan Pu-erh Tea
The tree shape is unique, and the yield of raw materials is very low, but because the buds and leaves have the top advantage, it has created its unique quality. The tea is masculine, with high aroma and blooming taste.
Every bud and leaf can be exposed to sunlight, and each branch only delivers nutrients to the top bud and leaf, so its content is particularly rich, durable and resistant to brewing, and the tea is full of gas.
The tea leaves of the rattan tea are picked using the reserved method: except for the new shoots at the top of the branches, all the buds and new leaves of the other side branches are manually picked, and the new branches are germinated in the next round, and then treated in the same way, which lasts for 10 to 20 years. year. In this way, the leaves of the tea tree will be relatively few, and the main trunk and thick forked branches will be exposed, and dozens to hundreds of slender branches will grow on the thick forked branches. The top of each branch will have buds and leaves, and the rest will be exposed.
The principle of rattan tea picking and cultivation is to keep the leaves on the top of the branches and pruning the sides to ensure the top advantage of the tea tree and promote the vegetative growth and germination of the tea tree. Because the output of rattan tea is relatively small and precious, it is generally only used to make Pu’er raw tea.
