Both young and middle-aged people gradually develop the habit of drinking tea, so everyone is familiar with it. Tea, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea itself are essential, highlighting its importance. Among the six major types of tea, Pu'er tea is very popular, with many enthusiasts collecting it in large quantities. How Should Pu'er Tea Be Stored? Pu'er tea is very popular among both new and seasoned tea drinkers. How to store Pu'er tea properly is a common concern. If stored incorrectly, the tea can become moldy and essentially useless. Tea has a spirit, and storage is the second life of Pu'er tea. The same cake of tea stored in different places or by different people will have varying flavors after some time. In this sense, each collector of Pu'er tea becomes a creator of its production and quality. With proper care and nurturing, it will reward you with its vitality and alluring fragrance. First, store it in a sealed container in a clean, dark, and humidity-controlled environment. Second, compressed teas are preferred, the tighter the better. Loose tea has a larger surface area exposed to air, making it prone to oxidation and unsuitable for long-term storage. Tighter…

There are several methods for storing Pu'er tea at home, such as in ceramic jars, tin cans, leather paper bags, cardboard boxes, purple clay pots, aluminum foil bags, or in their original packaging. When storing, it's important to ensure they are sealed, kept dry, out of direct sunlight, and away from odors. For single cakes of Pu'er tea, you can use aluminum foil bags to seal them. For multiple cakes, pack them in leather paper bags and place them in a cardboard box, then seal the box. How to Store Pu'er Tea at Home? 1. Tea easily absorbs odors, so store it away from kitchens, bathrooms, and areas where cosmetics or medicines are kept. 2. Choose a location that is not prone to dampness. Once tea becomes damp, it can easily develop mold. In mild cases, this may result in a storage flavor that alters the taste; in severe cases, it can produce an unpleasant musty odor, rendering the tea undrinkable. If the tea gets damp and you catch it early, you can air it out in a well-ventilated area or sun-dry it until it is dry. However, if the tea has already developed significant mold, no matter how good…

We have learned a lot about how to store Pu'er tea, mostly focusing on the storage methods for whole cakes. But how should we store opened Pu'er tea? How to Store an Opened Pu'er Tea Cake 1. If you only pry off a small portion to drink and haven’t fully opened the cake, you can use the original cotton paper to wrap up the remaining tea cake and store it in a dry place away from light, keeping an eye on any changes in the environment. Once opened, the tea cake cannot be stored for a long time and should be consumed gradually afterwards. 2. If the Pu'er tea cake has been completely opened, you can store it in a clean purple clay jar or ceramic jar, taking care to prevent dampness and sunlight. Do not seal the lid tightly; instead, place a bamboo charcoal bag at the opening, which can absorb moisture and is very beneficial for preventing dampness. 3. When storing Pu'er tea cakes, it’s essential to keep them away from dampness, light, and strong odors. However, don’t completely seal the container to avoid light; ensure there is some ventilation, as this is conducive to the aging of…

Recently, there has been frequent rainfall in South China, posing a challenge for storing Pu'er tea. Proper handling can lead to better transformation of the tea, while improper handling can cause issues such as mold. Storage has become a challenge, as different regions have varying climates, so is there a difference in storage methods? Don't worry, after reading this article, you will find answers to these questions. The Four Factors Affecting Pu'er Tea Storage When the same Pu'er tea is stored in different environments, the final aged quality will vary. The four factors that significantly influence the quality of Pu'er tea storage are "temperature," "humidity," "light protection," and "air." These play the most significant role in the transformation process of Pu'er tea during storage. 1. Temperature: Temperature plays a crucial role in the transformation of Pu'er tea. Excessively high temperatures can cause the tea to develop off-flavors; in excessively low temperatures, the transformation process slows down or even stops. Therefore, a relatively suitable temperature is essential for storing Pu'er tea. The temperature for storing Pu'er tea should not be too high or too low, and it is recommended to maintain it around 25°C ± 3°C. 2. Humidity: Humidity is also…

Puer Tea Sealed Storage Experiment Sealed storage of Puer tea inevitably involves the issue of oxygen supply in the warehouse. According to post-fermentation theory, Puer tea requires oxygen and a certain level of humidity for post-fermentation, so the tea storage warehouse needs to be ventilated to allow the tea to undergo post-fermentation. However, many people have found that when tea is stored under ventilated conditions, while the infusion color turns red, it loses its aroma after two or three years, and the bitterness and astringency do not diminish over time. Additionally, under ventilated conditions, the tea's aroma naturally cannot be preserved. In fact, the later changes in Puer tea are influenced by two factors: one is microbial fermentation, which is an external effect; the other is the action of active enzymes within the tea leaves, which is an internal effect. After sealing and controlling the humidity, Puer tea does not require microbial fermentation, but instead relies primarily on the active enzymes present in the tea to facilitate its transformation. When storing tea in a sealed and oxygen-deprived environment, how would Puer tea change? This question led me to conduct an experiment on the effects of oxygen in sealed storage. Experimental…

When storing Pu'er tea, it's important to ensure it is sealed, protected from light, free of odd odors, well-ventilated, and kept at a moderate temperature and humidity. Generally speaking, there are three methods for storing Pu'er tea. The first method involves placing the tea in a Kraft paper bag, squeezing out excess air, sealing the bag, and keeping it in a study or tea room. The second method is suitable for frequently accessed or opened Pu'er tea, which can be wrapped in cotton paper and stored in a jar. The third method is for whole bundles of Pu'er tea, which should be stored in their original packaging and sealed in a cardboard box. Three Methods for Storing Pu'er Tea Method One: Kraft Paper Bag For individual cakes or small quantities of Pu'er tea, Kraft paper bags can be used. 1. Take a clean Kraft paper bag, place the Pu'er tea inside, squeeze out any excess air, and seal the bag. Most bags have zip closures for convenience. 2. If you have several cakes, package them individually and store them in a dry area such as a study or tea room, ensuring good ventilation. For areas with excessive moisture, it's best…
