If I were to recommend a suitable vintage for drinking, the editor would not hesitate to choose a Shengpu from the 2000s~
Although Sheng Pu'er from different years has its own characteristics, if you want to find delicious old Sheng Pu'er, you should pay attention to the tasting guide of Sheng Pu'er in the 2000s introduced today!
The best year to drink Shengpu
【Before 2005】
According to dry warehouse raw tea, it is most suitable to drink tea aged for more than 15-20 years.
Many friends are worried about the sexual stimulation of raw tea. In fact, after aging the raw tea for more than ten years, the content of the tea is almost completed, the tea is mild and the taste and aroma have become stable.
The older the Shengpu is, the sweetness and tea flavor will be more obvious. After drinking it, the warmth will spread all over the body, which is the result of the cumulative transformation over the years.
Teas produced in different Pu'er tea regions can have very different tastes and styles. Whether you are new to Pu'er tea or a tea lover who is specifically looking for Pu'er tea cakes, it is recommended to try before buying.

【Menghai Tea Area】
The new tea from the Menghai tea area is characterized by its high aroma and strong tea spirit. Although the tea taste is relatively sweet and astringent, it is easy to produce body fluids and return to sweetness. However, the tea produced in the Menghai tea area has a large room for transformation, so many professional tea drinkers collect Menghai tea.
Compared with fresh tea, the irritation of aged Menghai tea has been reduced by half, leaving a pleasant aftertaste and a clear sense of body fluid production. Because of the distinct personality of Menghai tea, many tea factories have launched a Menghai tea series, which is suitable for those who like drinks that are sweet and sweet after the production of fluids.

【Yiwu Tea Area】
Yiwu tea area has a long history, and the six ancient tea mountains are among them. Different from Menghai tea which emphasizes sweetness, Yiwu's tea is softer, with a floral aroma, and a strong and soft taste. The sweetness is obvious but the astringency is lighter than Menghai tea, and the taste is rich. The aftertaste also has a slightly sweet floral aroma, which is suitable for A tea drinker who pays attention to the balance of sweetness, bitterness and sweetness in tea.
The combination of glycol and alcohol is a major feature of Yiwuchen tea. The tea has a moderately light and dark flavor, a mellow and thick taste, and is easy to drink. Therefore, it is generally recommended for beginners to try Pu'er from Yiwu District.
In the Wuyi tea area, you can try two brands, "Fuyuanchang" and "Longyuanhao". Both tea factories have a long history and are skilled in tea-making technology. They mainly use ancient tree materials, so the quality of the tea products is very good~

【Lincang Tea Area】
Lincang tea area is famous for its soft and sweet tea. The style of tea is softer than that of Menghai and Yiwu tea areas, but it still has a mellow and moist flavor. It is suitable for tea lovers who like delicate taste and not too bitter.
The old raw tea in Lincang District can also feel the distinct sweet water charm. The soft and sweet aftertaste with floral fragrance is one of the reasons why I like this tea area. If you want to enjoy a cup of raw tea with both fragrance and flavor in the afternoon, your first choice is Lincang Laosheng Tea.
