5. The origins of "icing sugar sweetness" and "coldness"
When you taste a good quality Puerh raw tea with the right craftsmanship, you will easily feel a sense of coolness and sweetness.
This is because tea generally contains hydrolyzed tannins. When hydrolyzed tannins are decomposed in your mouth, on the one hand, they will produce glucose, which makes you feel sweet, and this is the sweetness; on the other hand, hydrolyzed tannins will absorb heat during the decomposition process, which makes you feel cool.
When the content of hydrolyzed tannins in a certain tea is high enough, the cooling sensation will be obvious. When the aftertaste is presented, it makes you feel like this is like eating icing sugar. And as the icing sugar melts in the mouth, it also absorbs heat, so the taste of icing sugar is a combination of coolness and sweetness.
