The diagram shows the Process of Pu-erh Raw Tea and Ripe Tea. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The diagram illustrates the different stages of producing

pu-erh

raw

tea

and ripe

tea

. Looking from an

overall

perspective, it is readily apparent that the process of creating

pu-erh

products is made of five distinct stages. The first phase of producing both varieties of

tea

is frying the leaf in a relatively large pan to deactivate the enzymes.

Then

, fried leaves are rolled and placed under the sun to become dry. In the next stage, the outcome of dried leaves which are loose raw

tea

is used for producing different types of

tea

. In terms of making vintage

pu-erh

raw

tea

, loose raw

tea

is compressed and

then

stored in a special place. By ageing, the vintage

pu-erh

raw

tea

process ends. The process of making

pu-erh

ripe

tea

consists of different procedures than raw

tea

. In the beginning, the loose raw

tea

was fermented with mould.

Finally

, fermented loose ripe

tea

is compressed to create the final product,

pu-erh

ripe

tea

.
