Does Old Tea Cost More Than New

Pu-erh tea can be divided into new tea, medium-term tea and old tea according to the year of storage after making the tea. Because Pu-erh tea has more and more fragrance, so if the one-sided only considers the length of the storage year, the price order should be old tea, medium-term tea, and new tea.

There has always been a saying in the tea world that "drinking old, keeping new, and being old." However, it is not necessary to compare old tea to new tea, which is slightly extreme.

The "old" of Pu-erh old tea is a relative time concept, and there is no uniform standard. There must be a limit. The standard for judging is that it can be called old tea when stored for more than ten years. Old tea can withstand the eclipse of time, in order to precipitate the changes of the years.

Not all old teas must be of good quality, but valuable teas must have good quality, because quality determines value, and supply and demand affect prices. Old tea is more expensive than new tea, which means that Pu-erh old tea has high value and market demand is strong.

Old tea of ​​high quality is excellent enough to perform in the new tea period. 

Both raw materials and processes are particularly important. Careful selection 

of quality raw materials, coupled with the objectivity of a particular environment,

 determines the superiority of the variety. A good environment is not a variety 

of tea trees that are suitable for growth, just like each of the hills has its 

representative variety of ancient tree tea.

The technology of Pu-erh tea is unique among the six major teas, and the 

special production process can make it more fragrant in the later fermentation.

 If the process is not precise enough, it will lead to the early release or 

conversion of the contents of Pu-erh tea. Even if it is put on for more than ten 

years, it will not be able to reach the more fragrant.

The excellent raw materials and craftsmanship guarantee the quality of the tea,

 in addition to paying more time for storage, the details of the storage should 

also be cautious, which makes the old tea expensive.

In the tea market, a batch of old teas emerges at regular intervals, either at low

 prices or at a lower price than new teas of the year. Often these teas are small

 brands, or "fried" tea people because of the capital chain problem low-priced 

clearance. Or when the market is hot, and the quality of the tea is high, some 

tea people will start collecting, which will directly raise the market price of the 

new tea. Therefore, Pu-erh old tea is not necessarily more expensive than new

 tea. This is closely related to the market conditions, tea quality and potential 

market demand at that time. We still need to focus on the actual situation and 

avoid being misjudged by empiricism.

Back in time, when old tea is still new tea, some of the same batch of tea has 

already been drunk, some can not exist early because of various reasons, and

 some even in the middle of preservation, encounter accidents, lose the 

preservation value, can There are few remaining, and it is precious. Therefore,

 my personal opinion thinks that the same Pu-erh tea, old tea is more 

expensive than new tea, but not all old tea is more expensive than new tea, it is

 necessary to consider a variety of factors.

In the years when there is tea, let us cherish the old tea of ​​every gift.
