Abstract:

The Aspergillus flora during the post fermentative process of Pu-Er ripe tea was studied. Seven Aspergillus species,
including A1 wentii var1f umeus , A1penicilliodes , A1 aureolatus, A1 egyptiacus, A1foetidus , A1 japonicus var1japonicus
, and A1restrictus, were isolated and identified from the fermentative stacks of Pu-Er ripe tea produced from several
different places of Yunnan Province of China. It is noticed that the compositions of fungus flora in the post fermentative
process of different Pu-Er ripe tea produced from different places were different. The significance of Aspergillus species on
the production of Pu-Er ripe tea was primarily discussed.

Key words: Pu-Er ripe Tea, Camellia sinensis var1 assamica, Post fermentation, Aspergillus
