Pu-erh Tea

Dry-warehouse Pu'er refers to Pu'er tea stored in a dry, ventilated environment with low humidity. Generally, dry-warehouse tea ferments and ages under conditions of moderate temperature and humidity, good ventilation, and a clean, odor-free environment. This natural aging process preserves the true nature of Pu'er tea and enhances its value for connoisseurship. The characteristics of dry-warehouse Pu'er tea Smell the tea leaves by lifting the tea cake. Good storage conditions produce Pu'er tea with an excellent aged aroma. If there are other miscellaneous odors, it indicates that the tea has absorbed other scents during storage. If you detect a watery smell, the tea must have been stored in a humid environment. If you notice a pungent odor, the tea has likely molded; aged tea should not have a pungent smell as it becomes milder over time. Brew a portion of the tea to taste. The liquor from dry-warehouse Pu'er tea is clear and bright, not murky, with a slight initial bitterness or astringency that quickly dissipates. If the liquor is murky, it is definitely not high-quality tea. Inspect the infused tea leaves.

The topic of how to properly prepare a new purple clay teapot for use has been discussed extensively. However, many newcomers to the world of purple clay teapots still fall into common traps. Here are some incorrect methods that you should avoid: Mistake One: Tofu Preparation Method "Boiling tofu can remove the 'fiery' quality of a new purple clay teapot, absorb earthy odors and kiln dust, and break down any residual substances in the teapot." ▲ Preparing a teapot with tofu Firstly, there is no such thing as a teapot having a 'fiery' quality. This term is used in traditional Chinese medicine to describe human conditions. Secondly, the claim about absorbing odors is baseless. If this were true, we would place tofu instead of tea leaves or charcoal sachets in new homes and cars. Furthermore, after being fired at over 1,000 degrees Celsius, it's unclear what residual substances could be broken down by boiling tofu. Mistake Two: Sugarcane Preparation Method "Sugarcane, with its natural sweetness and fragrance, can imbue the teapot with an unprecedented level of nourishment, laying a solid foundation for future brewing." ▲ Preparing a teapot with sugarcane The idea behind using sugarcane (or apples) for preparation is…...

Pu'er tea, due to its post-fermentation characteristics, is not as picky about storage conditions compared to green teas, especially premium ones that require sealed, shaded, and low-temperature storage. For everyday home storage of Pu'er tea in small quantities, there's no need to be overly meticulous; the main considerations are a clean environment, absence of odd odors, shade, ventilation, and dryness. However, if storing larger quantities, attention should be paid. After all, it would be a shame for perfectly good Pu'er tea to suffer in flavor due to improper storage. So, how do you store Pu'er tea at home? Do you know? 1. Conditions for Storing Pu'er Tea at Home 1. When storing Pu'er tea, the tea itself needs to be relatively dry. Professional experimenters have found that tea samples with a moisture content of 9% are best stored under these conditions, which can serve as a reference point. However, not everyone has access to the tea's moisture content, so buying from reputable tea companies is a reliable option. 2. Avoid excessively high relative humidity. Professional studies suggest that an average humidity level of 65% can maintain the tea's moisture content. Generally, humidity levels below 75% (high humidity) can be considered…...

The brewing method for Puer ripe tea is as follows: Arousal of the Tea: Store the separated Puer ripe tea in a purple clay jar for a week, or rinse an appropriate amount of tea leaves with boiling water. Warm the Bowl: Prepare a white porcelain lidded bowl and scald it with hot water to increase the temperature of the cup walls. Brewing the Tea: Boil some water and pour it over the bowl along the walls with a fast and forceful stream; switch to a pinpoint pour when the water reaches half the capacity of the lidded bowl. Is it good to brew Puer ripe tea with boiling water? Puer ripe tea is best brewed with boiling water. Puer tea is a heavily fermented tea that improves with age, having a stable internal quality that is not easily released. If the water temperature is too low, it can lead to incomplete release of aromatic compounds and nutrients, resulting in a less flavorful and aromatic infusion. Furthermore, Puer tea is often compressed, and without boiling water, it would be difficult to fully open up the tea and remove any unwanted flavors and stale notes, leading to a more off-flavored experience…...

Tea is a healthy beverage, with many types offering diuretic, antioxidant, invigorating, digestive, and lipid-lowering and blood pressure-reducing effects. However, most people may not know that due to differences in the varieties harvested and processing methods, there are some subtle differences in the internal components of the six types of tea. This makes them each have their own focus in terms of health benefits. So, from a health perspective, the best approach is to choose the tea that suits your body's needs. How do you make the right choice? Which of the six types of tea is best suited for you? Green Tea: Excellent for Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Effects Green tea, made from fine tender leaves, is completely unfermented, preserving the freshness and natural substances of the leaves to the greatest extent possible. Nutrients such as catechins, vitamins, amino acids, and polyphenols are also retained in greater quantities. Therefore, green tea has significantly better effects in terms of antioxidant, anti-aging, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties compared to other teas. Black Tea: Warming and Digestive-Promoting Black tea is a fully fermented tea, during which chemical reactions occur, producing components such as theaflavins and thearubigins, which largely determine the color, flavor, and aroma…...

Pu'er tea, as a unique type of tea, has its quality and flavor significantly influenced by the way it is stored. Proper storage methods allow Pu'er tea to become richer and more alluring over time, while improper storage can lead to spoilage and loss of its inherent value. Firstly, the choice of environment is critical. The place where Pu'er tea is stored must be kept clean and dry. A damp environment can easily cause the tea to mold, affecting its quality. Ensure that the storage space is well-ventilated, allowing air to circulate freely, which helps remove excess moisture and odors. Additionally, keep the tea away from items with strong odors, as Pu'er tea has a strong ability to absorb smells, which can ruin its original aroma. Temperature control is also a key factor. An ideal temperature range is approximately between 20 to 30 degrees Celsius. High temperatures may accelerate the oxidation and spoilage of the tea, while low temperatures might slow down the transformation process too much. Avoid placing Pu'er tea in areas with excessively high or low temperatures, such as near heaters, air conditioner vents, or cold windowsills. Avoiding direct sunlight is an important principle when storing Pu'er tea.…...

Some concepts in Pu'er tea are originally very simple and clear to everyone, but after being over-interpreted by some people, they become complicated. People even add a lot of new content to these originally simple concepts, making their original meanings blurred. "Dry-warehouse" and "wet-warehouse" are such a pair of concepts. Originally, they had very simple meanings, but now they have become the most controversial and unclear concepts. Dry-warehouse and wet-warehouse mainly refer to Pu'er tea. From the perspective of storage environment, dry-warehouse and wet-warehouse can describe the storage environments for all types of tea. However, because Pu'er tea undergoes a unique post-fermentation process, and the warehouse environment has a significant impact on the fermentation results, when people discuss dry-warehouse and wet-warehouse today, they mainly refer to Pu'er tea. What is the difference between dry-warehouse tea and wet-warehouse tea? 1. Dry-warehouse tea: In a broad sense, dry-warehouse tea refers to Pu'er tea stored under suitable temperature and humidity conditions (year-round temperature not exceeding 32°C and humidity not exceeding 75%), avoiding direct sunlight, with moderate ventilation and no miscellaneous odors. 2. Quality characteristics of dry-warehouse tea: The dry tea has distinct strands, a glossy surface, and a pure and natural aroma, without…...

When it comes to Puer tea, most people's first impression is a round "cake." The birth of the tea cake was originally for the convenience of transportation and storage. Now, considering the aging characteristics of Puer tea itself, the cake tea remains the most classic and aesthetically pleasing style. Puer can be divided into two major categories: raw tea and ripe tea. Raw tea is made from fresh leaves that are withered, rolled, and then dried as loose tea. If further compressed into cakes or bricks, it becomes compressed raw tea, which has not undergone the process of wet-piling fermentation. Raw Puer tea has a more intense character and can be quite stimulating, with a strong bitterness in newly produced or recently aged teas. The infusion color is lighter or yellowish-green, making it less suitable for immediate consumption. Ripe Puer tea is tea that has undergone wet-piling fermentation, meaning the full fermentation process occurs during its production. Therefore, after being made, there is much less room for transformation compared to raw Puer tea. The long-term storage of ripe tea is primarily to dissipate the "fiery" and drying sensation caused by the wet-piling process, as well as any miscellaneous flavors or…...

How long is the shelf life of tea? How to store tea? Tea has a certain shelf life, so when purchasing, it's important to check the date. If buying loose tea, pay even more attention to its quality. Of course, proper storage later on is also very important; it should be placed in a well-ventilated, shaded, and dry area. Otherwise, even if it hasn't expired, the tea may become undrinkable due to spoilage. As a food product meant for consumption, tea naturally has a shelf life. This is indisputable, but different types of tea have varying shelf lives depending on their production methods and storage conditions. Green Tea When drinking green tea, freshness is key, so new tea can typically be consumed after being stored for half a month or a month. Green tea, being unfermented, has higher storage requirements. If not stored properly, it can turn yellow, significantly reducing its aroma and flavor. The shelf life of green tea is the shortest because it is not fermented and requires higher storage standards. Generally, at room temperature, the shelf life is about 1 year. If improperly stored, it may begin to wither and lose flavor within 8 to 9 months.…...
