 Shu Cha: Xishungbanna and Simao districts mainly grow tea plants from cuttings.) The first steps are the same: picking the leaves, first sorting, dry heating to stop oxidation and to remove 90% moisture, second sorting to classify the sheets into ten categories. The leaves, dried for a variable period of time, are steamed to allow them to be pressed into cakes, bricks, pucks, nests ... They are stored in a dry natural environment for post-fermentation (due to the action of bacteria) takes place over a period of up to several decades. Depending on the duration of the oxidation, the younger ones are more astringent while the older Pu Erh are very mild. Ripe, cooked, or aged by a process of acceleration, (Shucha)
 Accelerated processing: PuErh teas spread from the 1970s (both in China and in the West) to meet the growing demands of "aged" Pu Erh. The transformation due to post-fermentation is artificially accelerated. After the first stages, the leaves are spread in a layer and watered and then covered. This operation is usually done in the sun. The layer of leaves is turned over gently so that the leaves gradually oxidize. Once the desired result is obtained, the leaves are dried and bagged (loose leaves) or steamed and pressed into bricks, pancakes, nests, etc.

 Pu Erh is cultivated on the 6 mountains surrounding the town of Simao (formerly Pu Erh), in the south of the province. It is found in 3 regions: Xishungbanna, Simao and Lincang.
