What are the storage conditions of Pu 'er?

In order to taste a cup of authentic Yunnan Pu 'er tea, besides selecting good raw materials, the storage conditions of Pu 'er tea are also very important. The following is my introduction to the storage conditions of Pu 'er. Welcome to read!

A. it must be aged in a dry warehouse:

Dry storage refers to the storage of fermented tea in an environment with moderate humidity and temperature and good ventilation. Dry storage of Pu 'er tea will not be moldy, although the transformation is slow, it can maintain the authenticity of Pu 'er tea. Wet warehouse means that tea merchants put tea leaves in an environment with poor ventilation and high humidity to accelerate aging in order to obtain profits. Doing so will not only destroy the quality of tea, but also lead to the loss of collection value.

B. the temperature should not change suddenly:

If the temperature in the warehouse where the tea leaves are stored is too high and the temperature difference changes too suddenly, it will affect the vividness of the taste of the water-based tea soup, and even if the temperature in the warehouse is too high, it will form sultry heat, making the original raw Pu 'er tea mature.

C. avoid odor infection:

Tea absorbs odor most easily. Sprinkling a handful of dry tea leaves will absorb the smell in the air. Therefore, efforts should be made to keep the storage environment clean and odorless. Once the smell of kerosene and perfume is absorbed, it will become waste.

D, packaging with bamboo poles:

"Tea must be built. It is still tightly filled with thick bricks. The urn mouth should be reopened. Wrapped in leather paper. " This is a traditional packaging material and method since ancient times, which is helpful to filter the odor in the post-fermentation of Pu 'er tea and ensure its mellow effect. People often repackage the opened old Pu 'er tea with inferior plastic paper. After a long time, there will be odor, which will directly destroy the taste of Pu 'er tea.

The above are several aspects that should be paid attention to in the storage conditions of Pu 'er tea. As long as we can master the law of temperature and humidity changes in tea storage places and take appropriate adjustment measures according to local conditions, we can create a clean and hygienic external environment for Pu 'er tea, which is conducive to normal aging and can also appropriately improve the aging efficiency.
