How to judge dry warehouse teas?


Dry warehouse Pu-erh refers to Pu-erh tea stored in a dry, ventilated, low humidity warehouse environment. In general, dry tea leaves are fermented and aged in an environment with moderate temperature and humidity, ventilation and refreshing and no smell. This is a natural aging process, which preserves the essential authenticity of Pu-erh tea and also increases the value of tea tasting.

How to identify Pu-erh dry tea with the following five points:

1. Identify from the appearance, the dry bar of Pu-erh tea bar is strong, the color is fresh and smooth, and the gloss is flat, which fully shows the vitality of tea.

2. Identify from the aroma, cooked Pu-erh tea will produce a cooked taste because it passes through the pile; generally only dry warehouse cooked tea within 10 years of age can smell a cooked tea smell from the surface of the type tea. For a long time, you can smell an agarwood-like smell.

3. Identify from the soup color, the tea color of Pu-erh raw tea of
​​dry warehouse tea is maroon, and the tea color of cooked tea is dark maroon, even close to black.

4. Identify from the bottom of the leaf, the bottom of Pu-erh raw tea in the dry warehouse is maroon to deep maroon. The leaves are full and soft, full of freshness.

5. Identify from the cake body, the edge of the cake body of dry warehouse teais loose due to moisture, but also because of the moisture and pressure, the harder it is toward the center.

Under normal circumstances, the leaf base of Pu-erh cooked tea is mostly dark chestnut or black, and the texture of the leaf strips is dry, thin and hard. If the fermentation is heavy, there will be obvious charring, like being grilled by fire. Some older leaves have ruptured leaf surfaces and separate veins, just like the crumbling appearance of soaking dried leaves in water for a long time.

Pu-erh tea has the characteristics of being more mature, but some cooked teas, if the pile time is not long and the fermentation is not heavy, the leaf bottom will be very close to the bottom of the raw tea. On the contrary, there are some raw teas in the production process. For example, after the green tea is twisted, it cannot be dried immediately. After a long delay, the bottom of the leaf will also appear dark brown, and the soup color will be thicker and darker. The cooked tea is the same.

What teas can be invested in


Broadly speaking, any new tea is not worth the investment. The appreciation of Pu-erh tea comes from aging, from the tea drinkers' recognition of the tea itself. The Pu-erh tea market today is different from the past, with too many new products and too many choices. It is also good tea. Under the influence of many factors, it is only a small part that can really reach the front desk.

There are too many uncertain factors for a new tea, the attitude of tea companies, the attitude of tea customers and the choice of the market. Only after a period of accumulation, tea customers have fully tasted this tea, and after the tea has been transformed initially, can we evaluate whether a tea is worth investing in.

The person who can promote investment in tea can only be a tea merchant, which is a law that cannot be changed. Tea customers can only collect tea according to their own preferences, but the tea merchants can decide what kind of tea they want the tea customers to drink. This is again controlled by the manufacturers. If the manufacturers do not pave the way for tea merchants, today it is always easier to sell new teas than old teas in pursuit of maximizing benefits-because of the manufacturers' publicity.

A tea has attracted worldwide attention since its launch. If it can become the focus of everyone's eyes in a few years, this tea is definitely worth investing in. Here I would like to say one point, a tea is particularly concerned when it goes on the market, and then all of a sudden it is unknown. In a few years, speculators intervened to stir up the tea market and make the tea shine. A tea does not necessarily have good late performance.

Tea investment but also depends on the development of enterprises, enterprise decline. Their products generally will follow the decline, this is a law of the market. Many people look at the mountain, the word of mouth, and the price, but they only look at the development of the enterprise, and the tea smashes into their hands. A better brand development, his franchisees the more, the more money gathered in the product. Only when the funding pool is large enough, the appreciation of tea can be accurately reflected in the price. A small tea shop cannot support an investment tea. A good tea, but it cannot be said that it is a tea worth investing in.

There are many things to consider in Pu-erh tea investment. The quality of tea is fundamental, the development of the enterprise is the environment, and the choice of the market is the process. All three factors can be combined to create an investment tea. The current market is no longer the market 20 years ago, and old-fashioned thinking will eventually make a big mistake.
