2. It is best to put the tea on the first floor near the ground, so that the tea can naturally contact the air and be alcoholized by humidity and temperature.
There is a teahouse in the apartment where you can put tea. Store it in the teahouse. Don't put a dehumidifier or air conditioner to absorb the water in tea. It should be stored at natural temperature.
4. The storage space should be located to prevent sunlight or direct sunlight. This is also the key to storage. Light is very destructive to tea, so be careful!
If you carry seven tea cakes at a time, it is not appropriate to wrap the outer layer with plastic bags. The original bamboo leaves are the patron saint of tea, so they are more reliable to store. If loose tea or cakes are peeled off, put them in a tea can.
6. The teapot should be made of porcelain and pottery. Be careful when putting tea leaves into porcelain jars. Don't put the sour cooked cakes in this container, but put them in an earthenware pot. It is appropriate to put cakes in porcelain jars; Pottery pots can also be glazed or unglazed. Glazed jars have good moisture retention and moderate activity, and can be put into aged tea. The unglazed pottery pot has good tea-turning performance, so it is advisable to put new tea! However, it should be noted that putting tea leaves is too absorbent.
Three elements of storing tea cakes
1. Constant temperature: the temperature of Pu 'er tea should not be too high or too low. The temperature should be determined according to the local environment. There is no need to artificially create temperature. Normal indoor temperature is good, and it is best to keep it at 20-30 degrees Celsius all the year round. Excessive temperature will accelerate the fermentation and acidification of tea. Relatively speaking, Pu 'er tea changes faster in spring, summer and autumn than in winter. No matter when, Pu 'er tea should not be exposed to the sun, and it is best to keep it in the shade.
Second, circulating air: there is more oxygen in circulating air, which is beneficial to the reproduction of some microorganisms in tea, thus accelerating the change of tea. However, Pu 'er tea can't be hung on the balcony, so the placed tea leaves will be blown away, and the taste of tea will be blown away, making it feel bland and tasteless. Therefore, the air should have moderate circulation, but it should not be placed in the tuyere. In addition, we should pay attention to the surrounding environment not to smell, otherwise the tea will go bad. Therefore, it can't be placed in the kitchen or other environment with the smell of life or industry.
3. Moderate humidity: At present, good Pu 'er tea should be stored in a' dry warehouse', which means it should be stored in a dry environment to avoid humidity. Too dry environment will slow down the aging of Pu 'er tea, so there should be some moisture. In a relatively dry environment, you can put a small glass of water next to the tea leaves to slightly increase the humidity in the air.
