The processing makes a lot more sense now that I can see the different between "red," "black," and "Pu erh."<br /><br />Thanks!Brittinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14825906040669925909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27506679.post-24640243205406613462010-05-21T07:54:36.871-07:002010-05-21T07:54:36.871-07:00Great chart.

Ideally not enough to oxidize it to any significant extent, but enough to soften the leaves so they're not damaged during the kill green process.nadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966294853851019976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27506679.post-69322228058935623442010-05-16T10:01:13.737-07:002010-05-16T10:01:13.737-07:00Seven varieties, that's a great way to categor...Seven varieties, that's a great way to categorize tea. Currently most books I've seen use Six Varieties and put puerh into Black Tea. But they simply avoid talking much about puerh, which is a big problem. And I guess if they talk more about puerh, their Six Varieties system will not seem right anymore.Gingkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00717840609096741544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27506679.post-33644787974156242782010-05-16T09:53:32.761-07:002010-05-16T09:53:32.761-07:00Thanks MarshaIN.

If this is a Chinese chat, it will be more specific as for the tea terms.<br /><br />How are you doing my friend? Try any LongJing this year yet?
