So now many people encountered the problem is, what kind of tea can be considered "good tea", buyers and how to distinguish between good and bad?
Puerh tea is very special, the older the tea to drink the more slippery, and tea rhyme is very good. Well-preserved Pu-erh tea, after more than 30 years, will produce a camphoraceous aroma, which is an acquired scent. "I have found a very interesting phenomenon that drinking Puerh tea is addictive, and many people tend not to choose to drink other teas once they have had authentic Puerh tea." "However, the hardest part of Pu-erh tea lies in the purchase, and the key is to enrich your knowledge of Pu-erh tea. Of course in the purchase of a test brew is also quite important, drink a discernment to identify the flavor, so that you can greatly reduce the risk of buying. There are three main elements to buy tea, one is 'look', the tea cake open to have oil light gas, pressing more neatly, the color of the soup out of the bubble to be pure, with less suspension; two is 'smell', the tea should have no odor, taste pure, there is a special fragrance; three is 'drink', the taste should be relatively fine and smooth, with a natural fragrance."
Good Pu-erh tea can have many delicate and subtle aroma substances, in the aroma is mainly divided into: orchid, jujube, lotus, camphor, the key to the four to be, one to be clear (the taste should be clear, must not have a musty taste), the second to be pure (the tea color should be ratcheted red, can not be like ink), the third to be positive (stored dry, must not be humid), and the fourth to be airy (the taste of the taste of the mild, must not be five tastes mixed).
Puerh ripe tea will produce a ripe flavor because it has gone through Ovation. Generally only 10 years of aging period within the dry warehouse ripe tea can be smelled from the surface of the tea a ripe tea flavor. About 10 to 20 years, the surface ripe tea flavor has disappeared, can be felt from the tea soup ripe flavor fragrance.

Puerh tea is recognized as a kind of tea with life. A collector who has been investing in Pu'er tea for many years said that the price of new tea is generally very cheap and transparent, and profiteering is hidden in the old tea. Due to the high price of real old tea, year-round drinking cost is not small, some ordinary people in order to be able to spend less money to drink high-priced tea, early to buy new tea stored, which is also one of the reasons why more people invest in Pu'er tea in recent years.

So how to preserve it? You can use a more natural method, such as Pu-erh tea in a kraft paper bag, usually placed in the living room on the top of the cupboard, so that both anti-dust and more breathable.
