Lie one: Puer tea
is more and more fragrant, and the aged it becomes, the more valuable it is.
Investing in stocks is not as good as investing in puer tea. Puer tea is the
only tea that has no shelf life.
Truth: Pu-erh tea can become older and more fragrant in a certain number of
years due to its special bead properties, but Pu-erh tea is just a drink, and
it can't be used (or not suitable) as a money-making tool to hype. Some people
can make a small profit by collecting Pu-erh, but this does not mean that
common Pu-erh tea can be bought as stock.
Lie two: Raw tea will gradually transform into cooked tea. "How many years
can raw tea turn into cooked tea?" The concept of "raw into
ripe" has been circulating for a long time.
Truth: Actually, Puerh tea does not become mature when it is stored. Raw tea
has a long life and it will only become old tea. Cooked tea is made through the
fermenting process of old tea. It just has some overlaps in nature: it is not
bitter, and the soup is red and thick. But time is not a substitute for
craftsmanship, as if rice is old, it will only become stale rice, and it will
never become rice.
Lie three: Arbor tea is better than shrub tea. This is also a very general
statement. It should be said that the geographical and climatic environment of
the entire Lancang River basin is similar. Whether it is Terrace tea or tree
tea, arbor tea or shrub tea, it has a good growth and ecological environment.
However, the final formation of tea quality also depends on many aspects, such
as problems in craftsmanship and workmanship. Teas of similar quality may vary
greatly due to different processes; another is the aroma and internal
characteristics of tea in different tea areas. The quality is also different.
When comparing, you can only choose tea from the same area and the same period
of time to compare. It is absolutely meaningless to compare the spring tea of Menghai and Taihu autumn tea
of Pu-erh.
Truth: There must
also be a principle of comparison. You can only choose tea in different tea
areas at the same time for quantitative analysis of similarity and difference,
or make vertical comparisons of teas in the same tea area at different times.
There is no general comparison significance.
Lie 4: Palace Pu-erh tea that the emperor drank. There is a court puer tea in
the market, but in fact the emperors far away from the deep palace have never
drank the palace puer, and the court puer never paid a tribute to the court.
The Pu-erh courts seen on the market are generally cooked tea with very
delicate ingredients.
Truth: The earliest ripe tea was born in the 1970s. It is generally believed
that the concept of imperial court Puer first appeared after 1999.
Lie 5: Terrace tea is not as good as big tree tea, even worse than old tree
tea. It has fallen into the bottomless pit of time, place and tea area. There
is a prerequisite for any comparison. We cannot say in general that one tea is
inferior to another. There are too many factors that can affect this. If any
tea shop owner has been praising certain types of tea for no good reason, and
depreciating other types of tea, you will have a longer mind, maybe he wants to
fool you!
Truth: Under the premise that it is not enough to distinguish between Terrace
tea, tree tea, and wild tea, choose the right one, don't choose the expensive
one.
Lie 6: The difference between the price of Terrace and old trees is in quality.
This is an irresponsible statement. At the same time, the price of Taiwanese
tea in Banzhang may be higher than that of some other tea areas. One of them is
the quality of tea green, and the other is the problem of yield. The reason why
the price of big trees Tea is high is that it is relatively small in output.
Rare materials are expensive. Many people compete for the raw materials of this
limited tree or old tree. It is not surprising that the price is not high. In
terms of quality, scientific inspection and analysis are needed to determine
it.
Truth: It doesn't matter if the old tree or big tree is still on the platform,
just like it. Pursue spiritual satisfaction other than taste and health, and
buy a small amount of old tree tea and big tree tea, but this must have a
premise that you must understand Pu-erh; if from the perspective of pragmatism,
then choose a platform, after all, wages Hierarchies are to live on their
lives.
Lie 7: Wild tea must be better than wild tea. I ’m not sure if you noticed that
all the concepts are set to distinguish the quality and price, which also
determines the tea merchants in order to promote a certain tea. The
"goodwill" carried out was misleading. Because the amount of wild tea
was really limited, a method was later invented to artificially plant tea
fields in the wild. Generally speaking, wild tea has objective conditions of
better quality than direct cultivated tea plantations, but it is not necessary.
Truth: Yeah, wild is wild. Still, the concept is not important. Good tea is
used for drinking. It is good to be suitable.
Lie 8: The raw material of Pu-erh tea is Yunnan big leaf seed sun-cured green
tea. Conceptually, there is no problem with this sentence, but the rainy Yunnan
must ensure that all the raw materials are dried naturally, which is quite
impossible. Many The tea green is dried or steamed. Therefore, sun-hair tea is
just a relative concept. Some teas will smell a strong smoke at the beginning
of brewing, which is naturally caused by stringing smoke during the process of
killing and drying.
Truth: Only by knowing the process of Pu-erh tea can you taste the differences
in each link, which also shows the importance of Pu-erh tea workmanship.
Lie 9: Pu-erh tea is divided into dry warehouse and wet warehouse. The storage
of Pu-erh tea will directly affect the aging of tea. In the traditional sense, Pu-erh
tea only has a dry warehouse without a wet warehouse. The wet warehouse is
produced by illegal tea merchants in quick success. The wet warehouse is an
artificial ripening process, which violates the law of natural aging and should
not be promoted. The clean and ventilated storage environment is the
prerequisite for the good transformation of Pu-erh tea.
Truth: Choose cheap tea in dry warehouses rather than buy wet warehouse
goods.
