Pu-erh tea shapes


golden-melon
Pu-erh shape - Melon, or gold melon - Its shape is similar to tuóchá, but larger in size, with a much thicker body decorated with pumpkin-like stripes. This shape was created for the famous "Tribute tea" (貢茶) made expressly for the Qing Dynasty emperors from the best tea leaves of Yiwu Mountain. Larger specimens of this shape are sometimes called "human-head tea" (人頭茶), due in part to its size and shape, and because in the past it was often presented in court in a similar manner to severed heads of enemies or criminals.

Quotes - Pu-erh


„Fermentation is a tea production style in which the tea leaves undergo microbial fermentation and oxidation after they are dried and rolled. This process is a Chinese specialty and produces tea known as Hei Cha (黑茶), commonly translated to dark, or black tea (this type of tea is completely different from what in West is known as "black tea", which in China is called "red tea"). “

Quotes

„If you are annoyed or excited on account of things, sickness is already stirring in your mind – so what is “peace of mind”?

Pokud jste rozzlobení nebo rozrušení na základě věcí, nemoc se již rozdmýchává ve vaší mysli – kde je pak „klid mysli“?“
