About the Ripe/Cooked Pu-erh Tea
Ripe or cooked pu-erh (shu, shou pu'erh in Chinese), refers to an artificially aged version of pu-erh tea that a fermentation process called wòdūi (渥堆, "wet piling" in English) is developed prior to steam and compress the loose pu-erh tea leaves into pu-erh tea cakes, bricks or other shapes.
This piling process used to convert the raw pu-erh tea material into ripened pu-erh. This is a recent invention(developed in 1973 by the Government Operated Kunming Tea Factory) to imitate the flavor and color of aged raw pu-erh by prolonged bacterial and fungal fermentation in a warm humid environment.
The whole process normally takes 40 to 60 days, includes: piling, wetting, and mixing/turning of the piled raw tea leaves to ensure an even fermentation.
Unlike raw/uncooked pu-erh, which needs to be proper stored, aged and naturally fermented to get rid of the bitter and astringent mouthfeel. The ripe/cooked pu'erh could be consumed right away without further aging.
A well cooked pu-erh has a gentel nature, which could be easily steeped and gives a full-bodied, wine-coloured tea liquor, classic earthy pu-erh flavor and a mellow mouth-feel.
The other advantages of ripe/cooked pu-erh tea includes: minor irritation to stomach, zero-impact on sleep, low caffeine, while retains the cleansing, relaxing and calming effects.
