First, raw tea and cooked tea are stored separately:

Raw tea and cooked tea have different processes, and their aroma is different. They must be separated when stored. The best way is to put raw tea in one box and cooked tea in another box.

Mixed storage will lead to cross-flavor, affecting the aroma, taste and taste of tea in the later stage, and the drinking value of tea will drop a lot.

Second, choose an economical tea container:

When storing Pu 'er tea at home, you can choose some economical tea storage containers, such as kraft paper bags, cartons and cartons. If it is loose tea, or a few tea cakes, or tea cakes that have been disassembled, it can be placed in kraft paper bags or cartons, which can play a role in preventing moisture and odor.

The whole piece of tea purchased from the original can be stored directly, because the whole piece of tea is usually packed in cartons, which can insulate heat, absorb moisture, prevent moisture and smell, and the material of cartons is easy to obtain, so it can be said that it is the first choice for family tea storage.

Three, packaged tea, in the right place:

Tea packed in kraft paper bags or cartons should be placed at a certain distance from the wall and the ground when stored, and some wooden boards can be placed below, otherwise the tea leaves are prone to moisture.

At the same time, tea leaves should be protected from light and wind. It is easy to understand to avoid light, that is, don't be exposed to direct sunlight, because after being exposed to direct sunlight, the taste of tea leaves will become weak, which will affect the value of drinking.

Brewing method of Pu 'er tea:

Tea water temperature: the mastery of water temperature plays an important role in the display of tea properties. High temperature is beneficial to the fragrance dispersion and the rapid leaching of tea flavor. However, high temperature is also easy to rush out of bitter taste, which is easy to burn some high-grade tea. The water temperature varies with tea. For example, brick tea, tight tea and aged tea with coarse materials are suitable for boiling water brewing; High-grade bud tea with tender materials (such as the newer Palace Pu 'er) and high-grade green cake are suitable for proper cooling and brewing.

Avoid scalding delicate tea into "vegetable tea" at high temperature. When brewing some high-grade fresh green tea, in addition to direct cooling, the water temperature can be lowered without adding a pot cover or boiling water to avoid "water suffocation" caused by scalding tea.

Brewing time: The purpose of controlling the brewing time is to show the aroma and taste of tea fully and accurately. Due to the particularity of Yunnan Pu 'er tea production technology and raw material selection, the brewing method and time are determined.

The brewing time of old tea and coarse tea is long, while the brewing time of new tea and delicate tea is short; The brewing time of hand-rolled tea is long, while the brewing time of mechanical rolled tea is short; The brewing time of pressed tea is long, and the brewing time of loose tea is short.
