Puerh tea price is stable

Spring rains in Yunnan were sporadic this year, and the overall tea area was in a thirsty state. Due to the drought weather, tea production fell. According to the inertial thinking of the normal market, tea prices must increase. But the fact is that some spring teas have not increased in price. Why? Is it not because the price of tea has reached the “pressure line”, or is the helplessness of the tea farmers “retaining” the tea merchants, or is there something hidden behind it?

Lao Ban Zhang's "Tea King Tree" Spring Tea Auction Is Cold!
"Tea king tree auction" has become one of the important means of mountain tea commercial hype in recent years, and it also directly affects the price of mountain tea. It is precisely through the "Tea King Auction" that the price of the Banzhang has soared, and there is no news this year.

In 2014, the transaction price was 160,000 yuan, and the price of ordinary tea in Banzhang was more than 2,000 yuan per kilogram;
In 2015, the transaction price was 202,000 yuan, and the price of ordinary tea for banzhang was 3,000 yuan per kilogram;
Purchased by mysterious guests in 2016, Banzhang big tree Tea rose to 6000 yuan per kilogram;

In 2017, the transaction price was 320,000 yuan, and Banzhang big tree tea rose to 8,000 yuan per kilogram;

In 2018, the transaction price was 680,000 yuan, and Banzhang big tree tea rose to 13,000 yuan per kilogram.

Who is the key factor affecting the price trend of mountain tea?

The price of well-known mountain tea represented by Lao Banzhang stopped rising for the first time this year, and the current "bad weather" is no longer the reason for the price increase. In recent years, tea farmers have outsourced the picking rights of ancient tea trees at high prices, and outsourcing parties have collected as many tea greens as possible in order to recover costs, but this has caused great harm to ancient tea trees. Become a microcosm of the future hype "Tea King Tree" of other well-known mountain tea.

Some senior tea merchants have begun to leave the famous tea mountains in the past two years. They believe that there are many tea mountains in Yunnan, there are many unknown tea mountains, and many ancient tea trees are left in the corners that have not yet been discovered. It will surpass some well-known mountain teas. There are even some tea merchants transiting to Myanmar, Laos and other countries bordering the domestic tea mountain to find ancient tea trees and ancient tea gardens.

During the same period, production has been greatly reduced, and prices are basically the same as last year.

At present, the first spring tea in the major tea mountains is basically finished. If there is no more tea, the second spring tea will sprout again. Compared with the same period last year, the tea tree germinated late and the output declined. Last year, when tea growers were the most during the same period last year, six people were required to pick for a week. And this year, the situation where six people concentrated on mining no longer exists. Only two days after picking, there will be no fresh leaves.
But people are not as good as the sky. Although the yield of Spring Tea has been reduced due to drought this year, some of the younger Terrace tea and small tree tea in the major mountain tea areas have slightly increased their prices due to the sharp reduction in production. The prices of tree tea and ancient tree tea have not changed compared with last year.

The quality of spring tea is still good, the taste is better than last year.
The drought has brought a certain degree of impact to the entire market, but for now, the quality of spring tea has not been affected this year. Tea friends who have tasted Maocha said that the quality of the tea in the Lincang or Puerh production areas may have improved compared to last year. Despite the drought this year, tea is rich in materials, which is not only suitable for drinking now, but also suitable for long-term storage, which is conducive to the transformation of the "Shengpu" later.

Tea will eventually become one of the national drinks, whether it is hundreds or thousands, the one with the highest cost performance will become everyone's favorite "rational tea".
