What does Pu 'er tea 1357 mean?

When we drink a piece of Pu 'er tea, we often see that there are no complicated words on the outer packaging of tea cakes, only a few simple numbers; People can't help wondering if these figures have special meanings. Many tea lovers are skeptical and don't know what these figures mean. Today, I will tell you something about these digital codes.

1976, in order to facilitate the export, Yunnan Tea Company standardized Pu 'er tea produced by four state-owned tea factories, almost all of which were printed with a set of digital marks, which were simple and easy to identify, and were a common form of Pu 'er tea at that time. Cake tea is represented by 4 digits, and loose tea is represented by 5 digits.

Let's start with the so-called mark number of Pu 'er tea. If understood in the language of the market, it can even be understood as a series model of a product. Especially now, every manufacturer may produce new products every year.

Then, there are more product series, and each product definitely needs a single product model besides the product name; That is, the name of Pu 'er tea is represented by numbers, such as 7572-70 1, 7452-702, etc.

This is the symbol of Pu 'er, also called the symbol, which means trademark and brand in Guangdong dialect. In tea trade, it refers to the name of tea expressed by numbers or numbers supplemented by words. Also known as "tea code". Pu 'er tea cakes are represented by four digits, such as 758 1, 7542, 7572, 8542, etc.

The first two years were the years when tea was invented or technology was adopted. The third place is the grade of raw tea materials. The smaller the number, the higher the grade, with 0 being the most tender and 9 being the oldest. The fourth place is the tea factory number. At that time, the four major tea factories producing Pu 'er tea were:

1 Kunming Tea Factory is now the China tea industry in Yunnan.

Menghai Tea Factory is now Dayi Tea Group.

Xiaguan Tea Factory is now Xiaguan Tuocha Group.

4 Pu 'er Tea Factory, Yunnan Pu 'er Tea Group takes the most famous raw tea label 7542 as an example. The first two digits 75 are the development year of this tea formula, the third digit 4 is the average grade of raw materials used, and the last digit 2 is the factory number. With the change of the times and the reform of physique, some experts and capitals of these four major factories gradually flow to individual independent portals and number themselves, which leads to confusion in numbering and weakens the significance of numbering.

Second, talk about the batch of Pu 'er tea.

In addition to the common four-digit and five-digit marks, we will also see other numbers on tea cakes, such as 70 1, 80 1, or 702902. What do these numbers mean

In fact, there is a technical term called batch in Pu 'er tea. Tea is mass-produced by large tea factories. To separate each batch of tea, you need to divide it into batches. Generally, the batch is represented by three Arabic numerals, with the first digit representing the year of production and the last two digits representing the first batch of tea.

For example, 7572-906 indicates that this kind of tea is produced with a formula of 75 years, with 7 grades of raw materials, and the sixth batch of tea was produced by manufacturers in Menghai area in 2009. 7452-702, which shows that this tea is produced by formula in 74 years, using five-grade raw materials, and the second batch of tea produced by manufacturers in Menghai area in 2007; For example, if you see a package that says 70 1, indicating that this tea is the first batch of tea produced in 2007, then the second batch or even the third batch will continue to be produced in 2007. Other teas and so on. In the heyday of Pu 'er tea marketing in 2008, the batch number of a tea was 8 1 1, which means that this tea had 1 1 batch in 2008. It is conceivable that the consumption of Pu 'er tea market is large, which is also the main reason why many cottage factories came into being. Generally speaking, different batches of tea have little difference in quality and taste, but there are exceptions; However, the taste of the same product in different batches will be very different. Thirdly, let's talk about the meaning of numbers on the outer packaging of Pu 'er loose tea. Pu 'er loose tea is represented by five digits, such as 7807 1, 79562, 76563, etc. The first two years were the years when this tea formula was successfully developed. The third and fourth place is raw material grade raw tea. The last one is the number of the tea factory. For example, No.46563 indicates that the successful development year of the tea formula is 1946, the main raw materials of raw tea are Grade 5 and Grade 6, and the tea factory is Xiaguan Tea Factory. Pu 'er tea is divided into 1 1 grades, which are palace grade and super grade respectively, 1-9 grade. Some have 10 grade, but Menghai tea factory only reaches grade 9. The higher the number, the lower the grade and the lower the price. Specifically, the palace premium of Maocha is mainly golden buds, with one bud and one leaf, one bud and two leaves, etc. 1 grade is a tender leaf, and gradually the bigger the leaf, the older the leaf, and grade 9 is a thick leaf, and grade 10 will have more tea stalks.

There is also a level of 10, but Menghai tea factory only reaches level 9. The higher the number, the lower the grade and the lower the price. Specifically, the palace premium of Maocha is mainly golden buds, with one bud and one leaf, one bud and two leaves, etc. 1 grade is a tender leaf, and gradually the bigger the leaf, the older the leaf, and grade 9 is a thick leaf, and grade 10 will have more tea stalks.
