1, tea cakes can't be opened directly to make tea. Before drinking tea cakes, you need to pry the tea leaves open with a tea knife.
2. Then put the pried tea in a dry and ventilated place to wake it up.
3. Store the ventilated tea leaves in a tea pot. Every time you drink tea, take a proper amount of tea for brewing.
The shelf life of tea cakes is generally about 3-5 years. When storing tea cakes, we should also pay attention to the preservation environment and sealed storage. Tea cakes need to be sealed when stored, and you can choose to seal them with pottery pots. Tea leaves are easily oxidized in the air, resulting in the loss of substances inside.
Tea cakes also need to be stored at room temperature, and the temperature should not be too high or too low. Too high will easily lead to accelerated transformation of substances in tea and shortened storage time. If the temperature is too low, the transformation of substances in tea will become too slow, affecting the taste of tea or slowly deteriorating, and tea will ferment normally under normal environment.
