A vintage tea is a black tea that is fully fermented and has to mature for a long time. The Pu Er 1992 A is a variety with small gray-brown tea leaves that were picked in 1992. After the leaves have been picked, they have to dry in the air to extract the moisture. If they are flexible enough to be processed, they are rolled by hand to start the oxidation process. After this, the leaves must ferment for a few more hours. Then the leaves are baked in hot air ovens and stored for years in barrels of clay to ripen further, just like old wines. The older, the better. This Pu Er tea can continue to mature for at least 30 years.

A black tea is a fully fermented tea. A combination of two leaves and a bud is always picked. After harvesting, the leaves must first dry in the air, to get rid of the first moisture. As soon as the leaves are flexible enough to be processed, they are rolled by hand. This releases enzymes that trigger the fermentation or oxidation process. This process creates the final flavor and color of the tea. After rolling the leaves, they have to ferment for a few hours. Finally the leaves are baked in a hot air oven to prevent rotting.
